Block device tester bash script.



First argument is the block device to test.

Requires the dd command and /dev/urandom to be present.


#! /bin/bash
echo -e "\033[1m\E[36;41m\E[5m\033[4m!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!\E[0m\E[0m\033[0m\033[0m\E[36;41m\033[1m\033[4m This will erase $1 completely!! Do you want to continue?(y/n) \033[0m\033[0m\E[0m"
