Re: [opensuse] How to determine the number of bad blocks?



Thanks for the reply. I looked at badblocks, but considering that the
man page recommends not running the tool directly and that it didn't
mention if it actually reports back if any bad blocks were found made me
hesitant to run it.

The man for fsck talks about a "bad block inode" that stores all of the
bad block information. There has to be a way to read that.
