Bug#339957: badblocks not available to installer
Quoting Sean Jensen-Grey (seanj@xyke.com):
> Package: debian-installer
> Version: testing
>
> badblocks is not available to the parition manager. I would like two options
To the D-I team people: do you think we can request for badblocks to
be added to the e2fsprogs-udeb package?
Even if nothing in partman currently makes use of it, it could still
be available for manual checks done in the virtual consoles just like
Sean described.
The best thing to do would of course adding something to the
partman-ext3 and partman-basicfilesystems packages to offer a "check
for bad blocks" option....but this requires someone to do it..:-)
