NAME

drtest − standalone disk test program

SYNOPSIS

From the powerup monitor:
∗ b 0 dv(un,su) stand/drtest

DESCRIPTION

Drtest invokes a simple diagnostic test to read all accessible data from the specified device. 

While drtest is running, the cylinder number is printed on the console for every 10th cylinder read. 

Drtest prompts for needed information.  Device names are specified in standalone file notation (see boot(8S)). Messages are intended to be self-explanatory.

EXAMPLE

A sample run of drtest is shown below.  In this example (using a 750), drtest is loaded from the root file system; usually it will be loaded from the machine’s console storage device.  Boldface means user input.  As usual, “#” and “@” may be used to edit input.

Device data: #cylinders=1024, #tracks=16, #sectors=32
Testing hp(0,0), chunk size is 16384 bytes.
(chunk size is the number of bytes read per disk access)

(...program restarts to allow checking other disks)
(...to abort halt machine with ^P)

DIAGNOSTICS

The diagnostics are intended to be self explanatory.  Note, however, that the device number in the diagnostic messages is identified as typeX (instead of type(a,u)), where X = a∗8+u, e.g., hp(1,3) becomes hp11.
