  34     <para>
  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.
