Whether using dd or badblocks to do this, the block size needs to be 4096 (bytes) to write to the full physical sector. dd defaults to 512 bytes, and badblocks to 1024 bytes, neither of which will work correctly on this drive. >198 Offline_Uncorrectable ----C- 100 100 000 - 8 Weird. Because of this, I'd expect an extended offline test to fail and report the first affected LBA.

If nothing is triggered with the backup, try a non-destructive badblocks or dd read of the drive. Any error reported by either of those that's not triggered by the backup is probably safe to just write over. Just make sure to get the block conversion right. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
