Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.37-2 Severity: normal File: /sbin/badblocks
Try raiding /dev/hdx into /dev/mdx, and mount mdx but not hdx. Then do badblocks -n /dev/hdx. Badblocks will not complain that hdx is mounted, even though it is indirectly mounted through mdx. Also, please explain in the man page why it's dangerous. I presume because of race condition between the read and the write with another process. Now, how do I find out if I caused a problem by doing the above? :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11--from-2.6.9-proc-config-and-menuconfig Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages e2fsprogs depends on: ii e2fslibs 1.37-2 ext2 filesystem libraries ii libblkid1 1.37-2 block device id library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.37-2 common error description library ii libss2 1.37-2 command-line interface parsing lib ii libuuid1 1.37-2 universally unique id library -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
