If you run badblocks or e2fsck you'll find the application asks to write data |
| 8 |
to the disk, at the end of the run. Yes, the drive's firmware should manage |
| 9 |
badblocks transparently to the filesystem, but I have observed in hdparm |
| 10 |
output reallocations of badblocks do not happen in real time. Perhaps the |
| 11 |
filesystem level badblocks list which is LBA based, acts as an intermediate |
| 12 |
step until the hardware triggers a reallocation? Not sure. :-/ |
