Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : diskscan Version : 0.02 Upstream Author : Baruch Even <bar...@ev-en.org> * URL : https://github.com/baruch/diskscan * License : GPL3+ Programming Lang: C Description : Scan disk for bad or near failure sectors
DiskScan is a Unix/Linux tool to scan a block device and check if there are unreadable sectors, in addition it uses read latency times as an assessment for a near failure as sectors that are problematic to read usually entail many retries. This can be used to assess the state of the disk and maybe decide on a replacement in advance to its imminent failure. The disk self test may or may not pick up on such clues depending on the disk vendor decision making logic. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
