I wanted to know if there is any 'scandisk' sort of utility for Linux. I know about "fsck", but it warns me against running it on mounted filesystems. It doesn't run even in the single user mode.
Why do you need to run scandisk? There is fsck, and there is badblocks(8). You normally should not need to run fsck/badblocks at all.
