> Search a device for bad blocks.
|

|
- Search a disk for bad blocks by using a non-destructive read-only test:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`sudo badblocks {{/dev/sda}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Search an unmounted disk for bad blocks with a non-destructive read-write test:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`sudo badblocks -n {{/dev/sda}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Search an unmounted disk for bad blocks with a destructive write test:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`sudo badblocks -w {{/dev/sda}}`
