Got a drive that's starting to show its age (sadly, at only about 2
years
old!). It's a Maxtor OneTouch drive, which actually contains 2 500 GB
drives and presents via USB as a single storage device.
I started running badblocks on it a couple days ago, and it's still
running. Only 61 bad blocks so far, which is good (4K blocks,
reiserfs filesystem).
Just wondering how long I should expect it to take - is there anything
to help one calculate the run time?
