There should be a dcheck (for checking for bad blocks) and a chkfsys
(or something similar, check the docs) for check for filesystem
integrity. At least, they are part of a standard (full) install,
many VARs/OEMs shipped stripped down systems, which might not
neccessarily have all utilities.

or to see if you have bad sectors
