## Command Description
|
||||
|
||||
This operation will read the media inserted in the physical device, and measure how fast it can be read sequentially.
|
||||
It's not intended as a benchmark, but as a detector of damaged sectors, sectors that are losing readability, etc. When
|
||||
finished it will check how fast can the device seek, and report speed statistics.
|
||||
|
||||
## Command usage
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
Aaru -d [true/false] -v [true/false] media scan -h [true/false] -b [ibglog] -m [mhddlog] <device-path/aaru-remote-host>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`-d, --debug [true/false]` shows debug output *(default false)*
|
||||
`-v, --verbose [true/false]` shows verbose output *(default false)*
|
||||
`-h, --help [true/false]` shows help screen for the command instead of running it, ignores all other switches *(default
|
||||
false)*
|
||||
`-b, --ibg-log [ibglog]` writes a log in the format used by ImgBurn
|
||||
`-m, --mhdd-log [mhddlog]` writes a log in the format used by MHDD
|
||||
`<aaru-remote-host>` connects to an Aaru Remote Host with aaru:///
|
||||
|
||||
## Example
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD: `Aaru media scan /dev/cd0`
|
||||
Linux: `Aaru media scan /dev/sdb`
|
||||
Windows: `Aaru media scan \\.\PhysicalDrive3`
|
||||

1. macOS only allows talking with MultiMedia devices.
|
||||
2. Support for MultiMedia devices in macOS will be added if users require it
|
||||
3. Not supported due to upstream bug
|
||||
4. USB descriptors are not retrieved
|
||||
5. Only MultiMedia devices can be supported and descriptors will not be retrieved
|
||||
6. FireWire descriptors are not retrieved
|
||||
7. PCMCIA CIS is not retrieved
|
||||
8. Support will come with FreeBSD 12-RELEASE
|
||||
9. Should work, untested due to not available hardware
