Public bug reported:
Hello, I am using badblocks to check a hdd that I salvaged from an older machine that I got, I assume the hdd is still good, but I want to make sure and I also want to clear all old data from it. I am using this command line: # badblocks -c 4096 -b 4096 -o badblocks.txt -s -v -w /dev/sdb This is the output I got so far, please notice that the pattern that badblocks is using is not written at the correct location Nach defekten Blöcken wird gesucht (Lesen+Schreiben-Modus) Von Block 0 bis 122096645 Mit Muster 0x wird getestetaa: erledigt Lesen und Vergleichen:erledigt Mit Muster 0x wird getestet55: erledigt Lesen und Vergleichen:erledigt Mit Muster 0x wird getestetff: 15.23% erledigt, 5:16:28 verstrichen. (0/0/0 Fehler) For example the line: Mit Muster 0x wird getestetaa: erledigt should be: Mit Muster 0xaa wird getestet: erledigt Or the line Mit Muster 0x wird getestet55: erledigt should be: Mit Muster 0x55 wird getestet: erledigt Same for the line with shows the current pattern and the progress: Mit Muster 0x wird getestetff: 15.23% erledigt, 5:16:28 verstrichen. (0/0/0 Fehler) should be: Mit Muster 0xff wird getestet: 15.23% erledigt, 5:16:28 verstrichen. (0/0/0 Fehler) I assume the format string in the German translation for badblocks is a a wrong position in the string (at the end).
