[ Please CC me I am not subscribed to this ML ] Hi, I am here on Debian/testing AMD64 and have e2fsprogs version 1.46.1-1 from Debian/unstable. Just for the sake of completeness: Here I use a selfmade Linux v5.12-rc1 (and pre-git as of yesterday). To check the health of my disk I used badblocks the first time. ( All partitions are ExtFS-formatted on /dev/sdc. ) root@iniza:~/DISK-HEALTH# LC_ALL=C badblocks -v -p 1 -s /dev/sdc -o badblocks-v-p-1-s_dev-sdc_$(uname -r).txt Checking blocks 0 to 976762583 Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): done Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found. (0/0/0 errors) root@iniza:~/DISK-HEALTH# ll badblocks-v-p-1-s_dev-sdc_5.11.0-11646.1-amd64-clang13-cfi.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 28. Feb 19:33 badblocks-v-p-1-s_dev-sdc_5.11.0-11646.1-amd64-clang13-cfi.txt Unfortunately, the output-file is empty. Do I miss something (order of options for example)? The whole single-pass badblocks run took approx. 3 hours - last I looked 50% was 01:26 [hh:mm]. On stdout (and in output-file) - no summary of the total-time. Is that possible to have: Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found. (0/0/0 errors) + <total-time_of_run> Thanks in advance. Regards, - Sedat -
