What is the probability that there are no badblocks or badblocks are not detected this way? Which pattern is better for format 0x00 or 0xFF or one after another or dont care? I think badblocks is quite useful in this case even in destructive mode.. Btw. I have moved discussion to freebsd-stable , sorry for a mess :-) Best regards :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
