Bug#339957: badblocks not available to installer

[Sean Jensen-Grey <seanj@xyke.com>]

Ok, checked it out. I understand things take time. 

I found partman/partman-ext3/commit.d/format_ext3

and it looks like partman is called here 

line 72
                    if
                        log-output -t partman --pass-stdout mkfs.ext3 $device $usage >/dev/null
                    then

which calls into 

partman/partman-base/partman

After that I kinda get confused with all the modules. I have never seen bash like this before. Do you use a bash debugger?

Thanks for the pointers, will subscribe.
