so i should use the list i got from badblocks with dd but with bs=1024? are
you sure? i'm not sure what is my block size, but xfs_info says this:
debian:/# xfs_info /dev/md0
meta-data=/dev/md0 isize=256 agcount=32, agsize=5723342
blks
= sectsz=512 attr=0
data = bsize=4096 blocks=183146912, imaxpct=25
= sunit=2 swidth=6 blks, unwritten=1
naming =version 2 bsize=4096
log =internal bsize=4096 blocks=32768, version=2
= sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=0
realtime =none extsz=24576 blocks=0, rtextents=0
i think i made it with 4K stack size ... well anyways, i should use the list
i got earlier and just try dd but with bs=1024... ? don't want to erase more
than i have to. (i want to do it so i can smartctl -t offline /dev/sdb then,
so maybe it will somehow see that these blocks are broken and mark them)
