Hi all, Is a clean chit from badblocks enough to rule out hard disk damage? fsck had earlier reported errors but they were only errors related to fs inconsistencies, not hdd errors.
Anything short of a visit to Lamington, I hope.
No need to visit lamington road. Badblocks tells ya if your disk is damaged physically. If it gives a clean chit then theres nothing wrong. But may I inquire how did you run badblocks?
init 1 umount / badblocks -nsv /dev/hdb # non-destructive r/w test
