Are any of the SunVTS tests “data destructive”?
No, SunVTS tests are not data destructive. However, when the disktest is run with the rawtest write/read mode enabled, it does write data on the selected partition. The test, however, backs up the original data first, and puts it back when the write/read/compare operation is complete. By default, disktest runs in read-only mode. In addition, a few intervention mode tests, such as tapetest and disktest (for the floppy drive) require that you load scratch media that can be written on. Specific test details are explained in the SunVTS Test Reference Manual.
