I have a USB external harddrive that I suspect is on its last leg. I
would like some definitive way to determine the number of bad blocks.
I've run "fsck /dev/sdb1 -c" several times, but the only output is:

/dev/sdd1: 11/30539776 files (9.1% non-contiguous), 1006495/61049000 blocks

where that first number (1006495) goes up with every run of fsck -c. Is
that number the number of bad blocks? And if not, then how can I find out?

Thanks in advance!
Jeremy
