man badblocks (especially the -o option) man e2fsck (especially the -c, the -l and/or the -L option) I usually do something like this: # badblocks -o badblocks.hda1 /dev/hda1 # badblocks -o badblocks.hda5 /dev/hda5 # badblocks -o badblocks.hda6 /dev/hda6 etc. You can then look at those files and see if they have anything in them. If so, you need to add them to the filesystem using e2fsck. You can either create the list from scratch (-L), or add to the list (-l). It doesn't hurt to add a bad block more than once, so I usually use -l. # e2fsck -l badblocks.hda1 /dev/hda1 You can use e2fsck -c /dev/hda1 to check for badblocks and add them to the list, but I like to keep a list of badblocks around just in case.
