I bought a new harddisk today and now mke2fs -c -m0 /dev/hdb2 gives me this output:
... 179777, 15187969, 15196161, 15204353, 15212545, 15220737, 15228929, 15237121, 15245313, 15253505, 15261697, 15269889, 15278081, 15286273, 15294465, 15302657, 15310849, 15319041, 15327233, 15335425, 15343617, 15351809, 15360001, 15368193, 15376385, 15384577, 15392769, 15400961, 15409153, 15417345, 15425537, 15433729, 15441921, 15450113, 15458305, 15466497, 15474689, 15482881
Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): done Block 49 in primary superblock/group descriptor area bad. Blocks 1 through 62 must be good in order to build a filesystem. Aborting.... <root@rakete>:/>
But dmesg does not give me any kernel-messages which could tell me that there is something wrong with the harddisk or the partion.
Is this a bug in the checkblocks part of mke2fs? Or does the check test for errors that are not logged in the kernel?
Shall I believe dmesg (no error messages) or shall I believe the check option of mke2fs and ask my dealer for a replacement?
Is this message a problem for mke2fs? Or can I use this partition without any risk?
Greetings, Michael.
