Hi,
Use "dumpe2fs -b >/tmp/badblocks" to get a list of the bad blocks in
/tmp/badblocks.
All that returns is Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock in the
file.
Sorry, my typo. "dumpe2fs -b /dev/hdaX >/tmp/badblocks", replacing
"/dev/hdaX" with the device name of the _partition_ you're trying to
fix.
Edit that file and add an entry for block 1, then
run "badblocks -i /tmp/badblocks" to mark the block as bad.
Given the above error, how am I supposed to add an entry for that? The
man page for badblocks isn't exactly revealing much.
If the corrected command above comes back with no listing, then:
badblocks -i -
and enter "1" at the prompt. "-i -" reads the list from stdin rather
than a file, and if you don't have any bad block list, that's what
you'll have to do.
