# badblocks
|
|
|
|
> Search a device for bad blocks.
|
|
> Some usages of badblocks can cause destructive actions, such as erasing all the data on a disk, including the partition table.
|
|
|
|
- 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}}`
|
|
|
|
- Search an unmounted disk for bad blocks with a destructive write test and show verbose status:
|
|
|
|
`sudo badblocks -svw {{/dev/sda}}`
|
|
|
|
- Search an unmounted disk in desctructive mode and output found blocks to a file:
|
|
|
|
`sudo badblocks -o {{/path/to/file}} -w {{/dev/sda}}`
|
|
|
|
- Search an unmounted disk in desctructive mode with improved speed using 4K block size and 64K block count:
|
|
|
|
`sudo badblocks -w -b {{4096}} -c {{65536}} {{/dev/sda}}`
