- A disk partition validator (OFS or FFS)
- .description
- A disk partition validator that only reads your disk (no writes to
- it). Should work with any 512 byte block structured virtual or
- physical disk partition which uses the Original File System (OFS) or
- Fast File System (FFS). Val will check out the disk and output error
- messages and warnings according to any problems it may find on the
- disk, with a reasonably concise message about what it thinks is wrong.
- Val will find errors that the standard Disk-Validator will ignore,
- such as a file header that points to more or less blocks than the
- filesize represents.
