Drive / Filesystem Integrity Test
Can anyone recommend something to use on Linux for a drive / filesystem integrity test?
I'm a little bit confused - you mean "file system integrity" as "security" or as "data integrity"?
If it is for security, I'd use tripwire.
If it is for "data integrity" you should tell us what is your FS - reiserfs, ext2 etc. Also, you may find fsck useful.

In fact, fsck run on ext3 should call e2fsck... Since ext3 has the same on-disk format as ext2 it can use the very well tested
and reliable e2fsck to ensure filesystem integrity and recover from errors,
when this is needed...
