Why do you think that? Did badblocks identify any specific problems? |

A failing hard disk generally shows very obvious symptoms (noises, |
| 8 |
periodic system lockups due to read retries, I/O errors in the kernel |
| 9 |
log) before getting to the point of causing the widespread filesystem |
| 10 |
corruption you seem to be experiencing. |

Ext4 is generally quite resilient even when handled roughly, so I would |
| 13 |
tend to suspect a memory issue. That's just a guess, though, since you |
| 14 |
didn't provide much information. |

As Mick said, you don't fix a hard disk, you try to salvage whatever is |
| 20 |
on it and then you go for a replacement. |

However, your first priority should be to rule out memory issues: doing |
| 23 |
any kind of data recovery operation on a machine with defective memory |
| 24 |
is a recipe for disaster. |
