It is reiser, and there is a reiserfsck program that I've been manning that I can use to check for bad blocks ala fsck. Does booting in safe mode mount all partitions read-only?
Can reiserfsck search for badblocks and mark them unusable or something? I haven't seen that option.
I think that feature is more low-level than the filesystem. "man hdparm" describes the -D option to enable this. Most drive manufacturers have a bootble disk to set various drive features, and marking bad blocks is usually one of the features. ########################################################## P.S. I have a paranoid rant about these "bad blocks" in suse-ot, if you are interested. I think something "undocumented" is going on. -- I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
