LOST #064 -**< Sub : Hard Disk packing up >**-
The frequency of faults at read write access to hard disk is
on the increase may herald a disk about to pack up. fsck prog
is not adequate to sort things out. Run e2fsck as well since
this calls the badblocks prog to write to bad blocks inode. On
an unmounted partition, from rescue disk do:
#e2fsck -c -p ..... Back up the partition soon thereafter.
