Re: Fixing Bad Blocks
You need to create a file containing the block numbers of
the bad blocks. The badblocks program should work. Then
run e2fsck -L on the *un-mounted* filesystem. See the
manpages for badblocks and e2fsck. You may still need to
re-make the filesystem on the affected partition. I would
repeat e2fsck -f -L badblock_filename device_name until a
clean check is achieved and cross your fingers.
