just figured that badblocks tool was having 32bit value issues for sector numbers of sata hdd disks. just what is the replacement or successor for badblocks? apparently people been discussing this even some upstream bugreport at redhat, but the information give was, that badblocks been actually invented for like floppy disks. have never heard of anything else than badblocks so far. how to check largeish huge hdd media? any quick resolution of this problem? did i miss a tool ever since badblocks? ty. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1306522 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=764636 https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/152171/badblocks-only-takes-32-bit-...
