you could try badblocks
quote from manpage:
Important note: If the output of badblocks is going to be fed to the
e2fsck or mke2fs programs, it is important that the block size is properly
specified, since the block numbers which are generated are very dependent
on the block size in use. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that
users not run badblocks directly, but rather use the -c option of the
e2fsck and mke2fs programs.
