Hello,

I'm using this external USB device in FreeBSD 10-CURRENT:

Nov 23 11:40:38 tiny root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x07ab product 0xfc8e bus uhub4
Nov 23 11:40:38 tiny kernel: ugen4.3: <Freecom> at usbus4
Nov 23 11:40:38 tiny kernel: umass1: <Bulk Only Interface> on usbus4
Nov 23 11:40:38 tiny kernel: umass1:  SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x0000
Nov 23 11:40:39 tiny kernel: umass1:1:1:-1: Attached to scbus1
Nov 23 11:40:39 tiny kernel: da1 at umass-sim1 bus 1 target 0 lun 0
Nov 23 11:40:39 tiny kernel: da1: <Freecom Hard Drive XS 1.00> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device 
Nov 23 11:40:39 tiny kernel: da1: 40.000MB/s transfers
Nov 23 11:40:39 tiny kernel: da1: 1430799MB (2930277168 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 182401C)

This is mostly used to store dumps of the file systems of the server on
one big UFS file system on da1s1a.

Sometimes, after the dump finished, a re-read of the file to get the MD5
checksum results in errors and I was highly concerned about the integrity
of my dumps on this device.

I bought another 2.5 TB disk and was able to copy all the files (around
1TB) over, i.e. the device could now be owerwritte while testing.

What is the best way to run a test on the disk? I'm thinking in
something like reading/writing the block in place for many days
(it's around 1.5 TB). Any ideas?


Thanks

	matthias
