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 Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and Keen Flyer =====ALMOST ALL LINUX USED HERE, Solaris 10 SPARC is just for play=====
