Hi Warlin,

Yes, I use badblocks or e2fsck -c to check the filesystem for badbocks... and with badblocks, I can get a list of the bad blocks from the device. What I'm looking for though is a quick way to find out what the already marked bad blocks on the ext3 filesystem are (the ones previously marked as bad by an e2fsck run for example). This is possible for reiserfs with the debugreiserfs command, but oh well...I'll still look for it's equivalent. Thanks though :)

I'd like to acknowledge though, that I could indeed just run badblocks again and output the resulting list of badblocks to a file. Still, I find the ability to instantly list previously marked badblocks useful.

Hi Paul,

I think there's an equivalent program for this: badblocks.

Simple command line: badblocks <device>

Subject: [plug] Ext3 equivalent for debugreiserfs?[Scanned]

Hello,

I can't seem to find an equivalent of the command "debugreiserfs -B <file>" command for ext3 filesystems. There doesn't seem to be a relevant option in the debugfs command list. Can anyone here please share how to quickly list the -already- marked badblocks in an ext3 filesystem just like debugreiserfs -B does?

My thanks in advance. I seem to have been hit with misfortune as of late

since one of our servers new scsi drives has a ton of bad blocks.

-Paul
