hi!
diskscan is intended to find sectors of a storage medium
(hard disk, flash drive (pendrive), etc.) which are bad or
I used "or" and I avoided a comma before the "etc".
Even though that may be illogical, "etc" is usually preceded by a comma.
There are two problems:
1. The repetition of the word "medium".
I do not see this as a problem.
2. The nonexistence of the word "media". It is bad when search a
package via apt-cache.
I believe it's unlikely that people looking for diskscan will search for "media", but if
you want to keep "media", I suggest to do it via the short description:
scan storage media for bad or near failure sectors
This would be at the same time more complete and more grammatically correct.
I believe that we can use this text.
Description: scan HDD/SSD for bad or near failure sectors
diskscan is intended to find sectors of a storage medium
(hard disk, flash drive or pendrive etc.) which are bad
or in the process of going bad.
.
The operation is entirely read-only and does not cause
damage to the data on filesystems. As the program reads
block device sectors, it will work whether there is a
filesystem or not.
.
diskscan reads the entire block device and notes the time
it took to read a block. When there is an error it is
immediately noted and also when there is a higher latency
to read a block. A histogram of the block latency times is
also given to assess the health of the media.
.
diskscan also can be used to test the speed and quality of
the media.
"diskscan can also" would be a little better.
All sectors of a perfect medium could be read
at the same speed.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Eriberto
Thanks to you
