Good question.
Do you have similar magic for dumpe2fs?
Nope.
Of course your output presented here indicates that
you HD is not one on which you can verify badblock
printing, since your disk has no badblocks.
I could have done a -cc test (which the man page says is a
"non-destructive read-write test") but I don't want to take the
chance of making a mistake or there being a bug and having it foul
the partition.
