Hi Stefan,
The chances are high, that only one file is "killed" by this, since
most of the data on a hd is not of organisational matter.
Simply try the following on sdb6
cd "sdb6"
sudo find . -type f exec cat\{\} > /dev/null \;
Regardless of the time it will cost to cat ALL files, it will
fail on that file with the bad sector...
Good luck!
