command to check media quality

[kholikt]

Is there any other command to check the quality of a medium?

I find out that omnimm -list_pool ESC_HTL_htlsgsap_dev2 is a bit strange because the medium label will be cut off if the label is too long. So this is a bit tough for scripting

Status Medium Label Location Full Protected
