35 <emphasis remap='B'>Amdevcheck</emphasis> provides a way to check that a
36 particular &A; device is accessible, whether or not it contains a volume,
37 and whether or not that volume is labeled. Some devices can't distinguish
38 between all of these cases; a missing volume and an unlabeled volume might
39 generate the same error code, for example. In those cases, this tool
40 reports all possible causes of the error.
