It was just a thought from userland. My perspective was that a user, not a hard-boiled geek, might get lulled into a false sense of security but may not have the wherewithal to write a wrapper. If nothing else, when the final doc is written (did I say final?:)), it should include a notice about not running badblocks. -- Peter +++++ Do not reply to this email, it is a spam trap and not monitored.
