| 23 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 24 | .PP
|
|---|
| 25 | \fIReadall\fR reads all of the named device in large chunks.
|
|---|
| 26 | It reports about blocks that it cannot read.
|
|---|
| 27 | Unlike \fIdiskcheck\fR, it does not attempt to write on
|
|---|
| 28 | the disk, making it safer to use when one is worried about a sick system.
|
|---|
| 29 | When the \fB\-b\fR flag is given, the output is a shell script that
|
|---|
| 30 | calls the \fIbadblocks\fR program to marked all the bad blocks.
|
|---|
| 31 | Whenever installing
|
|---|
| 32 | \s-1MINIX 3\s-1,
|
|---|
| 33 | it is wise to run \fIreadall\fR with the \fB\-b\fR flag first on all
|
|---|
| 34 | the hard disks.
|
|---|
| 35 | .SH "SEE ALSO"

|---|
