Short: The best validator for FFS (v2.5) Author: Zbigniew Trzcionkowski (zeeball@interia.pl) Uploader: Zbigniew Trzcionkowski (zeeball interia pl) Type: disk/cache Version: 2.5 (27.01.2002) Replaces: disk/cache/TurboVal.lha Requires: Amiga with OS 2.04+ Architecture: m68k-amigaos Name: TurboVal util/boot/TurboVal.lha STATUS: FreeWare Short doc: This little util should be used on startup time. It will wait until all devices are validated by letting only one device for validation at the same time. Therefore it prevents the noise and slowdown. If validation error appears then filerequester (ASL) will be opened to choose Your salvage program (for instance AmiBackTools). Of course it will be executed, so you can repair the partition. There is one exception - if bug requester appears before VAL is executed then this feature fails and user has to reboot and boot without startup-sequence to run his salvager by hand... :-( Please remember that this program has no use when you have working reset handler logic (lucky - use DiskSafe.lha instead then). Also users of non-validating filesystems shouldn't be so silly to install this tool as it is useless in their case. This program is also useless against incredible and extremely seldom bugs like damaged filesystem, damaged driveinit code and other almost impossible things :-( changes since 2.4: - added German text to installer script (Thanks to Axel Greve) - small fixes alas whole code is very shitty, but don't worry as I am using it without problems from first versions :)
