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.
