Having an installation of Linux on a CF Flash, I am wondering if it is
needed to check for bad blocks during file formatting. I am also
wondering if using tune2fs -c 0 and tune2fs -i 0 is needed or is a bad idea.
I did not set up this CF installation, but am curious as to CF Flashes
and their reliability.
The options they used were for tune2fs and formatting the filesystem with
mkfs.ext2 -j /dev/hda
Would passing the -c flag to mkfs.ext2 along with the -j option for
journalling be needed for flashes? Will it mark the blocks as bad before
the filesystem is used for anything?
