IS THIS OK?
1) WHAT TO DO IF MORE BAD BLOCKS HAPPEN? WHAT COMMANDS TO RUN?, SAME?
Run: e2fsck -c -f <device> on an unmounted filesystem.
WHAT DOES e2fsck DO WITH FILES SAVED ON BADBLOCKS?
It will relocate them.
2) HOW SURE CAN I BE, THAT MY PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED (BADBLOCKS SAFELY PLACED AWAY FROM USE)?
Unless more bad blocks develop you are safe. This is unlikely to happen so soon again unless you hard drive is failing.
IS THERE A COMMAND I CAN RUN WHILE FS IS MOUNTED TO CHECK?
badblocks <device>
3) WILL REGULAR CHECK ON BOOT (every 20 boots as it says) FIND & CORRECT POSSIBLE BADBLOCKS?
No, it runs e2fsck without the -c option. It is like doing a scandisk without checking the disk physically in the Windows world. You really don't need to check for badblocks unless you system is acting weird again. Charles -- "By golly, I'm beginning to think Linux really *is* the best thing since sliced bread."
