--- Begin Message ---Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.39-1 Severity: wishlist It says here: % man badblocks | grep -n -B 4 exclusive | tail -n +3 84- -n Use non-destructive read-write mode. By default only a non- 85- destructive read-only test is done. This option must not be 86: combined with the -w option, as they are mutually exclusive. -- 93- -w Use write-mode test. With this option, badblocks scans for bad 94- blocks by writing some patterns (0xaa, 0x55, 0xff, 0x00) on 95- every block of the device, reading every block and comparing the 96- contents. This option may not be combined with the -n option, 97: as they are mutually exclusive. Let's TRY that: % badblocks -nw /dev/hda4 ; echo $? # '-nw' shouldn't work. Usage: badblocks [-b block_size] [-i input_file] [-o output_file] [-svwnf] [-c blocks_at_once] [-p num_passes] [-t test_pattern [-t test_pattern [...]]] device [last_block [start_block]] 1 Vague, the error message gives no clue as to what went wrong. It would be better if: 1) the 'badblocks' code checked for the prohibited '-nw' combination, then displayed a more specific error message. 2) once that was done, both man page paragraphs quoted above could have their last sentences deleted for being redundant. (Kludge, if for some reason #1 was difficult. A simple Bourne shell script wrapper could easily be written to handle parameter passing.)
