Thank you for the reply, Bill. Sorry, there is no -c option on fsck for reiserfs, (see man fsck.reiserfs or man reiserfsck for bad block checking options). Also, my harddrive does not support S.M.A.R.T. therefore smartctl won't help me, unfortunately =( Well, I don't think there is a hardware problem. Anyway, I checked for bad blocks on the device (/sbin/badblocks -b 4096 /dev/hdb1) and there are no bad blocks. But I'll use the manufacturer's diagnostic utility and run the tests, just to be sure. Thanks, -- .''`.
