Verify a CD-ROM
 

I want to test a CD-ROM to ensure all files are readable.

So far, I am using the command:
find /mnt/cdrom -print -exec grep "String Which Will Never Match" {} \;

which is pretty clumsy and checks the contents of every file to see if this goofy string is contained inside.

Anybody have a more elegant way to read each file and make sure they are readable?

I don't have a good MD5 checksum to compare against.

you could try something like that :
NOTE : i havent tested it as i am using windows now at work :cry:


#!/bin/bash

count=0
for file in "/mnt/cdrom"
if [ -r $file ];then # True if FILE exists and is readable.
count=$((count+1))
fi

echo "Files readable : $count"
