If you have reiser as your file system:

reiserfsck --check /dev/hda (the partition you want to check)

The output will tell you if you should run any of the commands:

reiserfsck --rebuild-tree reiserfsck --fix-fixable reiserfsck --rebuild-sb

Does the fsck tool apply for all the available file systems? ext2, ext3, reiserfs? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexandr Malusek" To: "Suse" Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 9:50 PM Subject: Re: [SLE] Checking HD for Bad Sectors

Note that *fsck* tools check filesystem consistency, they do not search for bad sectors. If you want to check the disk for bad sectors then use badblocks (from e2fsprogs*.rpm).

Ok, what about ext2? Which filesystem is more fixable, reliable during forcable reboots, or electricity problems? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jostein Berntsen" To: "Suse" Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 11:19 AM Subject: Re: [SLE] Checking HD for Bad Sectors

You can see what filesystem you have for your partitions in /etc/fstab. For reiser the command is reiserfsck for ext3 it is fsck.

You are correct, but these days you can save yourself some trouble by running e2fsck with the -c option (it will run badblocks for you). Of course this is only for ext2 and ext3 (with a recent enough e2fsprogs). On the other hand, handling badblocks in Reiserfs is a total nightmare.
