when you format your drive for the first time they're a possibility to   
format AND check sectors (use -c with mke2fs) with a read-only test (as   
man page said).
i don't know if you can do the same when all is installed ...

Objet: about e2fsck & fsck

Hi all,
When I fsck or e2fsck -c my h/d, there's message :
" deleted inode 45344, has zero dtime , Fix?"
"block bitmap differences : -2608 -2609"
"free block count wrong" "Inode bitmap difference: -45344 fixed,..etc
And then after that, for the second time ,  I repeat fsck and I had the   
same
messages.

Could anyone explain to me,..:
1. what is "has zero dtime"? My h/d is new, does my h/d have bad sector?
2. Is there utility in linux like "surface scan" (in Winblows) for   
checking
"bad sector"?

Thanks in Advance
