This is from memory, but I ran "fsck.ext2 -c -C 0 -p -f /dev/sdb1" and after running for a while said something like: updating bad blocks inode XXXXXXXX; /dev/sdb1: XXXX/XXXX files (1.6% non-contiguous), XXXXX/XXXXX blocks So... if there were bad blocks, it didn't make a fuss about it. I'm going to commence a destructive badblocks scan ("badblocks -b 4096 -s -w /dev/sdb1") - can badblocks be given an entire device instead of a partition?
