Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2 Severity: normal
Error messages add one to a too low 'lastblock': % badblocks -vs /dev/hdb1 1 2 badblocks: invalid blocks range: 2-2 % badblocks -vs /dev/hdb1 1 99 badblocks: invalid blocks range: 99-2 Too high values vary more: % badblocks -vs /dev/hdb1 20000000000 3 badblocks: invalid blocks range: 3-0 % badblocks -vs /dev/hdb1 2000000000 20000000000 badblocks: invalid blocks range: 4294967295-2000000001 % badblocks -vs /dev/hdb1 2000000000000 20000000000 badblocks: invalid blocks range: 4294967295-0 If the error ranges were correct that'd fix this bug, though it'd be ideal (wishlist?) if the 'invalid blocks range' messages were informative and conditional, perhaps like: badblocks: error, lastblock '1' is less than startblock '2' badblocks: error, lastblock '2000000000000' is greater than the /dev/hdb1 maximum of 9518480.
