Re: [LUG] Checking a hard disk

 

What Simon said, why did you run bad blocks?

It is probably fine, the SMART parameters might tell you more. See smartctl

SMART can tell you how many blocks have been swapped out and some stats on spin up and the like to show if the disk drive is failing.

If it has a fault but is covering it up sometimes only the drive firmware will know this.
