where sda2 is a 320 gb partition. The process has been running for
approx 18 hours and is just over three thirds. Is this really supposed
to be so slow, or is there something wrong? The machine is a Core Duo
1,6, 2GB memory.
Yes, and no. badblocks -w is a full write-mode check - you could do a
default read-only check, which would certainly be faster, but it all
depends on how thorough you would like to be - you chose the most
thorough check, so it will take a while, yeah. Just over 3/3's (= 1/1 =
done)? ;)
