====== Scan Slices ======
{{ :tools:scan_slices1.gif?200 |}}
** What is the use of the tools ? ** \\
  Scan each slice directory and compares the details with metaslice db and prints the results in table-format
  
** How it works ? ** \\
  * First,it get the timestamp of given slices directory 
  * Then ,Checks the slice is present or not in the meta-slice 
  * If present it compares the slice date present in the directory with slice details present in meta-slice 
  * The difference between the two timestamps should be below or equal to 10 min.
  * And it also check the archive file is present in each slice directory and print the status in terminal
