Abstract
A method and apparatus for testing storage devices in communication with a computer. Logical volumes are created on each storage device. Also, a file system is created on a first storage device in the storage devices, wherein the first storage device is a current storage device. The file system is copied from the current storage device to another storage device, wherein the another storage device is a storage device that has not received a copy of the file system wherein the another storage device becomes the current storage device. The file system is copied over and over again until all of the storage devices have received a copy of the file system. At this point, a single pass through these storage devices has occurred. Different numbers of passes may be selected depending on the amount of time during which testing should occur.
