Re: Bad Blocks

Hi all,

I rebooted my powerpc machine with gentoo recovery disk, and ran
xfs_repair. This cloncked out on the apparent bad sector. badblocks
couldn't read from it either. But when I finally decided to mkfs.xfs
/dev/hda2 -f, everything was back to normal. To be on the safe side, I
left my desktop running all night with a destructive badblocks scan, and
it still didn't find  a bad sector.

Maybe driver fault? Or could xfs confuse the driver at all (I can't
think of any resonable way of this happening)?
