zfs discuss - Aug 2011 - Scripting

Hiya,

Now I have figured out how to read disks using dd to make LEDs blink, I want to
write a little script that iterates through all drives, dd''s them with
a few thousand counts, stop, then dd''s them again with another few
thousand counts, so I end up with maybe 5 blinks.

I don''t want somebody to write something for me, I''d like to
be pointed in the right direction so I can build one myself :)

Thanks
