I know of a method to continously execute a command, maybe doing a full

about the error checking part. Here is what I would do:
while [ 1 -eq 1 ]; do ls -shw9 -R; done
The directory liting will be cached, after the first run the disk
should not be touched any more (try it out...). Also, when you're not
redirecting the output to somewhere else (e.g. /dev/null), the terminal
displaying the output will be the bottleneck and not the fs or the
disk...
