Hi James Many thanks for finding & posting that link. I'm sure many people on this forum will be interested in trying out Brad Fitzpatrick's perl script 'diskchecker.pl'.
It will be interesting to hear their results. I've not yet had time to work out how Brad's script works. If would be good if others here can take a critical look at it, and feedback their comments to the forum. I'm disappointed that I've not had a reply from someone at Sun to explain how they test their hard drives. We've had a few people here quick to claim that most hard drives fail to sync/flush correctly, but AFAIK no one is saying how they know this. Have they actually tested, in which case how have they tested. Or do they just know because of bad experiences having lost lots of data.
