Greetings, I have about 50 x 500GB to 2 TB hard disks in my setup. All them are using reiserfs 3.6 When I get slow reads on a hard disk then I do: # badblocks -b 4096 -o bad-blocks-finished-6-2.txt /dev/sdd1 # tail -f bad-blocks-finished-6-2.txt 77299721 77299722 after that I format the hard disk with this command: mkfs.reiserfs -B /root/bad-blocks-finished-6-2.txt /dev/sdd1 But my hard disk still seems to have problems with reading certain parts. I notice that the reading speed is going down to a very low level with some files. Is my method correct ? or have I done something incorrect ? with metta Mettavihari -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe reiserfs-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
