Does anyone know if a SCSI AHA-1540C controllers, Verify Media command
will leave the disk intact, apart from relocated badtracks/sectors, or is
it a destructive scan?

I have a SCSI disk showing bad-sector errors, and I dont want to have to
do a complete rebuild if I can help it.

Thank for any help,
cheers,
Bob
