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?
If I were you, I'd run some SMART tests instead. Also check the SMART error logs. See smartctl. Hmm, not sure if this works over USB. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
