The DM (Disk Map) component allow you to see and keep
tracks of the disks state. The parameters of DM are the name
of drive to map and possible /p flag to make map in printable
characters:
DM drive [/p]
For example, DM C /p or dm a: etc.
The map of disk is drawing on the screen together with
some important information such as a total and free space on disk,
date and time, quantity of bad clusters. When mapping big disks
one cell on the screen shows the state of the group of clusters.
In this case the next priorities are used:
If there is at least one erronous cluster in group all
group is shown as erronous;
Else If there is at least one free cluster all group is
shown as free;
Else group is shown as allocated.
Note that the mapping of disk is very useful to detect
possible virus activity. The most common signs of virus infection are:
- increasing of the number of erronous clusters;
- decreasing of the free disk space;
- decreasing of the total disk space.
