Hi
This reminds me. I would like to do a HDD surface scan for reiserfs
partition. Is there any way I can do it? mkreiserfs doesn't allow to do
that and reiserfs being a journaling file system, fsck.reisrefs may not
have much to do anyway... fsck.xfs is known to return true alway and
immediately. May be reiserfs adopts similar tactics
Wait a minute. This is what it says on my office mandrake 8 box.
[shridhar@daithan shridhar]$ ls -al /sbin/fsck*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15196 Mar 15 2001 /sbin/fsck*
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 484904 Mar 15 2001 /sbin/fsck.ext2*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18812 Apr 2 18:21
/sbin/fsck.minix*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jul 11 02:48
/sbin/fsck.reiserfs -> ../bin/true*
So how do I do it?
