badblocks

[Christoph Bohle <bohle@math.TU-Berlin.DE>]

The badblocks command found 3 badblocks at the very end of an ext2
partition on my ibook2. e2fsck could not fix them saying something like
"out of reach. ignoring". I would like to know if this is a serious
problem with my harddisk or rather a problem with the powerpc ext2 support
or with the badblocks command (or bad behaviour of OS X). 

(I did the badblocks check after some less succesfull experiments with the
2.4.11 Kernel that caused some problems with the filesystem. Suppose this
has nothing to to with the badblocks.)

Thanks, Christoph
