Use the SMART capabilities of your drive, for example using smartctl. It can be configured as a daemon and test your drives fully at specified times without closing or stopping the system.
chkconfig smartd on /etc/init.d/smartd start
In 9.2 /etc/smartd.conf is already setup to scan all ATA and SCSI devices, you can set up the intervals there also. Regards Sid.
Sid,
Running 9.2 but don't seem to have any of those files on my system. Is it installed by default ?
