This is very useful > utility, please add it as part of LiveCD :-) There is no badblocks utility in the FreeBSD base system. It wouldn't be much use with modern disks in any case, since they do automatic bad-block mapping internally and once any bad blocks become visible the disk is failing and you will likely see lots more very soon. The Linux utility is available as part of the sysutils/e2fsprogs port. If you just want to test a disk there are examples in the dd(1) manpage. Ben
