Badblocks is part of e2fsprogs. But since you’re using USB2, this will |
| 14 |
really take a while. At best I get 39 MB/s out of it. Another way is a |
| 15 |
S.M.A.R.T. test, methinks `smartctl -t full` is the command for that. But I |
| 16 |
don’t know what exactly is being tested there. But it runs fully internal of |
| 17 |
the disk, so no USB2-bottleneck. Others may chime in if I tell fairy tales. |
