Fixing Bad Blocks
Hi.
I recently posted a message about "Kernel Panic" that was due to bad
blocks in my hard drive. My plan is to just start all over. What I need
now is a way to fix bad blocks or to skip over them if neccessary. I
received a message that told me to use e2fsck -c /dev/hda? ( where ? is
any one of my 5 partions) to find the bad the bad block and then to use
badblocks to mark them. However when I did e2fsck -c /dev/hda? again it
still sees the bad blocks and I am afraid that this will still cause the
system to hang. I am thinking of reformatting and drive all over again.
Will this fix the problem? Does any body have any suggestions. Is there
any program that fixes badblocks?
