Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Error messages add one to a too low 'lastblock':
% badblocks -vs /dev/hdb1 1 2
badblocks: invalid blocks range: 2-2
% badblocks -vs /dev/hdb1 1 99
badblocks: invalid blocks range: 99-2
Too high values vary more:
% badblocks -vs /dev/hdb1 20000000000 3
badblocks: invalid blocks range: 3-0
% badblocks -vs /dev/hdb1 2000000000 20000000000
badblocks: invalid blocks range: 4294967295-2000000001
% badblocks -vs /dev/hdb1 2000000000000 20000000000
badblocks: invalid blocks range: 4294967295-0
If the error ranges were correct that'd fix this bug, though it'd be
ideal (wishlist?) if the 'invalid blocks range' messages were
informative and conditional, perhaps like:
badblocks: error, lastblock '1' is less than startblock '2'
badblocks: error, lastblock '2000000000000' is greater than the /dev/hdb1
maximum of 9518480.
Hope this helps...
