Hi, I suspect bad blocs in my Hard disk, so I try the commande: e2fsck -c /dev/hdb1 (hdb1 not mounted) it calls badblocks, but it's very very long... after half a day I've checked only 1/10 of my hard disk (IDE - 20 Go) 1. Is it normal? 2. Can I do something else? Thanks. -- Patrick GELIN rue du Beau-Site, 3 CH-2300 La Chaux-de-Fonds Tel: +41 (0)32 / 913 41 48 Email: patrick.gelin@xxxxxxx - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
