Description: Collection of tools for low-level hardware management
This package is a collection of tools useful for hardware
troubleshooting and optimization (for ix86 machines):
.
irqtune: adjusts priority of interrupts (improves serial performance),
scanport: scans for hardware not already handled by Linux drivers,
memtest86: a real mode memory test,
scsiinfo: displays SCSI drive low-level information and modifies SCSI
drive settings,
scsidev: makes permanent SCSI LUN -> devicename connections,
scsifmt: low-level SCSI formatter,
sraw: benchmarks raw SCSI I/O rates bypassing the buffer cache,
scsistop: low-level SCSI drive start/stop program,
scsi-spin: program to manually spin up and down a SCSI device.
.
Be aware that these tools require some knowledge of what are they
doing to be used properly, not causing damage to your system.
