The system will begin the unmounting process, and will display:
This message will remain for a few moments. During this time, several
other messages may appear on the second line of the LCD display, i.e.

B.2.3 Disk Diagnostics (INIT DISK, CHECK DISK, REPAIR DISK)
These menu items are used when diagnosing and repairing SCSI disk problems.
Please Note: The operating system must be “unmounted” (described in §B.2.2) before Disk
Diagnostics can be run.
WHEN and WHY SHOULD I USE DISK DIAGNOSTICS?
You must use Disk Diagnostics when adding disk drives to a system - these must be
INITed before use. Besides that, Disk Diagnostics is helpful during problem
situations as described below. During operation, you would notice a disk problem
if, for example, one disk’s worth of tracks (let’s say, tracks 9 through 16) was
behaving oddly.
• Perhaps you can play back from those tracks, but you cannot record.
• Or, you see that you have plenty of disk time available, but when you
attempt to record on any of those tracks, the time available drops to 000.
• Or, you try to copy data to or from the disk, or do a restore from tape, but
the disk fails to record.
Could this be a hardware problem? Maybe. Re-boot the system, and see if the
problem goes away.
Could these problems be an Operating System problem in disguise? Perhaps,
and it’s simple to rule out an operating system problem. Simply perform the
unmount/mount procedures in the previous paragraph, then re-boot the system.
