i wish to test it all, everything, just not ummm extremely violently in terms of hard drive(s).
so, if the hard drive testing part is ultimately configurable that would be great... i just dont feel like pounding the drives for hours and hours
ummmmmmmmmm what are people using in this area?
i am familiar with memtest and some of the other small stuff yet i am looking for practical list wisdom on this whole scenartio.
thanks!
I've actually had pretty good luck with this little script:

It's not *too* hard on the disks, although that part isn't configurable.
