roDiskMonitor

This object provides access to low-level information about disk errors. It provides an event-based interface that delivers roDiskErrorEvent objects via roMessageport. Error messages are held for five seconds before delivery to minimize the chance of spurious error reports. Errors are not reported if the disk is removed during this five second interval because disk-removal detection takes several seconds. This allows for long-term monitoring of occasional media errors.

Object Creation: The roDiskMonitor object is created with no parameters.
