>The error log doesn't show the LBA, so following the BadBlock HOWTO The self test log (after a long self test) should show the LBA. >example, I wrote zeros to the entire disk (dd of=/dev/zero if=/dev/hdf >count=100000000 bs=4096). This reads the disk, you have if= and of= switched. Make sure you didn't turn /dev/zero into a regular file :-) I did this once with /dev/null, it makes for mucho confusion... Also, you should not specify a count, just let it write until it errors out at the end of the device. >I made and mounted /dev/hdf1, created a 1GB file (dd if=/dev/zero >of=/mnt/c/zero0 bs=1024 count=1000000) and made copies until I filled >the entire drive: I still get the below output. >What am I missing? I have a disk with a pending sector that is beyond the end of the disk. So the self tests test it but the disk wont allow the OS to write it. I couldn't read your attachments so not sure if this is biting you. HTH |
