verify

PURPOSE

     Turns write verification on or off for a particular mini-
     disk.

SYNOPSIS
     verify [ -o ] [ -q ] [ -v ]

DESCRIPTION

     The verify command turns write verification on or off for
     the specified minidisk device.  The name must be a stanza
     name in the /etc/system file.

     When  write verification  is on,  the system  checks each
     write  operation to  the minidisk  by comparing  the data
     written to disk with the data in the write buffer.  If it
     detects an  uncorrectable error, then it  passes an error
     code back from the write operation.

     At system startup, write verification is turned off.

FLAGS

     -o Turns write verification off.
     -q Tells you whether write verification is set on or off.
     -v Turns write verification on.

FILES

     /dev/config
     /etc/system
