Re: [SLE] is this a siGN of bad HD

I tried badblocks and got some weird output, then realised it handles only ext2 filesystems (man badblocks), no good for reiserfs etc., don't know about ext3. man reiserfsck ------ --check This default action checks file system consistency and reports but does not repair any corruption that it finds. This option may be used on a read-only file system mount. The --check option exits with status 0 to indicate that no corruption was found. Otherwise, reiserfsck returns 1 to indicate corruption that can be fixed with --fix-fixable and 2 to indicate corruption that requires --rebuild-tree. --fix-fixable This option recovers certain kinds of corruption that do not require rebuilding the entire file system tree (--rebuild-tree). Normally you only need this option if the --check option reports "corruption that can be fixed with --fix- fixable". This includes: zeroing invalid data-block pointers, correcting st_size and st_blocks for directories, and deleting invalid directory entries. Regards Sid. Charles Philip Chan wrote:

Looks like it. Time to run badblocks.
