==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==
Aaru media-scan -b [ibglog] -d [true/false] -i -m [mhddlog] -v [true/false]
-b, --ibg-log=[ibglog] writes a log in the format used by ImgBurn
-d, --debug=[true/false] shows debug output ''(default false)''
-i, --input= path to the physical device
-m, --mhdd-log=[mhddlog] writes a log in the format used by MHDD
-v, --verbose=[true/false] shows verbose output ''(default false)''
==Example== FreeBSD: Aaru media-scan -i /dev/cd0
Linux: Aaru media-scan -i /dev/sdb
Windows: Aaru media-scan -i \.\PhysicalDrive3
