In the dmesg I find an information telling me that I have a bad sector which according to the rest of the text is not liked by the system. It tells me that sector id 34777476 is the culprit. How can I find out where that sector is situated. I remember in former versions I could find the sectors of a partition. I think somewhere in the partition manager or with sfdisk or one of the other disk managers. Before I try to find out where this sector is situated (curiousness) I would like to know what the best way would be without doing any damage to my partitions. -- Linux User 183145 using a Pentium III , powered by openSUSE 11.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.3.98 (KDE 4.3.98 (KDE 4.4 RC3)) "release 218" 20:55pm up 0:33, 3 users, load average: 1.06, 0.66, 0.59 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
