diskscan 0.14.1-1 (ppc64el binary) in ubuntu utopic
diskscan is intended to check a disk (hard disk, flash drive, pendrive etc)
and find any bad sectors already present and assess it for any possible
sectors that are in the process of going bad.
.
The operation is all read-only and doesn't causes damage to the data on the
disk. As the program reads block device sectors it will work whether there
is a filesystem or not.
.
diskscan reads the entire block device and notes the time it took to read a
block. When there is an error it is immediately noted and also when there is
a higher latency to read a block. A histogram of the block latency times is
also given to assess the health of the disk.
.
diskscan also can be used to test the speed and quality of the removable /
solid / portable medias, as flash drives. A good media will have all yours
sectors read in the same speed.
