Hello all, Recent FreeBSD here.
How do I detect a bad sector on a disk. Are there any other utilities that can be used to detect such error? I've used fsck before but I supposed unless fsck comes up with a bunch or write/read errors, I can never know a disk is good. Or when fsck does come with such messages, is the disk in an inconsistent state? The reason I ask this is because recently after making world, all file operation (mv, cp etc.) from and to /home mounted at ad1s1e hung up and doing kill -KILL would not cut it. I ran fsck a few times which required quite a number of reboots just to make sure all is right. The mount point now works as usual but I still a few doubts on how, all of sudden, things went well. I would like to know how I can detect bad blocks on my disk and to interpret fsck messages. Thanks in advance. -- Thank you for your time, Ihsan Junaidi Ibrahim __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
