Hi Matthias, They meant 128 GiB, but somehow the `i` tends to avoid the printing process= . Wikipedia blames the IEC for this disparity, but I call it cheating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte#Definition badblocks(8) might also interest you; I usually invoke it as `badblocks -fs= vw -b 4096 /dev/whatever`. Many Linux distros ship it as well, which is han= dy.
