Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.41.3-1 Severity: minor
The manpage of badblocks tells that the -s option shows the progress of the scan by writing out the block numbers as they are checked. Badblocks in current version however shows some percentage instead. IMHO it was always very useful to see the block numbers. If one had to interrupt the check of a lagre disk it was clear at which block one had to continue. IMHO the percentage is confusing here if one does a full destrucive test. It runs up from 0% to 100% eight times. This is one for each read and each write of the four patterns AA, 55, FF and 00. But this are just remarks, the bug is the discrepancy between what is shown and what is told to be shown in the manpage. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: lang=de...@euro, lc_ctype=de...@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages e2fsprogs depends on: ii e2fslibs 1.41.3-1 ext2 filesystem libraries ii libblkid1 1.41.3-1 block device id library ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.41.3-1 common error description library ii libss2 1.41.3-1 command-line interface parsing lib ii libuuid1 1.41.3-1 universally unique id library e2fsprogs recommends no packages.
