It’s usually best to diagnose when not booting from the target.Īlternatively, we can use S.M.A.R.T. Note how we first unmount a partition before scanning. Here, we use the -v (verbose), -s (show progress), and -n (non-destructive read-write) flags. Testing with random pattern: 1.05% done, 4:34 elapsed. Indeed, they are usually the first evidence we have of storage damage: $ umount /dev/sdaĬhecking for bad blocks in non-destructive read-write modeĬhecking for bad blocks (non-destructive read-write test) In particular, the badblocks tool is handy for finding bad blocks on a device.
