Anyone seen something like that out there on the web? Are you looking for `badblocks'? There is also a `memtest.sh' from Doug Ledford. It's main intention is, as the name suggests, to find memory problems. However, it does also stress the disk a lot. In fact, it finds problems that occur somewhere on the path from a disk to a CPU. If you increase its $NR_SIMULTANEOUS to fill up your disk entirely, it should nearly do what you are looking for (except for some blocks that are never touched because of filesystem organization) :) regards Mario -- I thought the only thing the internet was good for was porn. -- Futurama
