Just for the record: Before I wanted to give back in my faulty disk
to my computer supplier as a case for warranty, I zeroed out the
faulty
disk.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad2 bs=1m
It took half an hour to zero out the 80GB. Transferrate 44 MB/s?
And not a single error ? Or is this normal?
Depending on the model, 44 MB/s seems quite OK. Certainly on the fast
side for a 2.5" laptop drive, but not unheard of these days.
It is quite possible that the disk controller had a couple of sectors
it could not read anymore (and giving I/O errors for them), but was
able to reallocate once you wrote to them. I would still ditch the
disk, though. Would be interesting to see what the smart reallocated
sector count says.
