Hi,
I've ran
badblocks -v -b 4096 -o badblocks2 /dev/hyperspace/hyperspace1
It said :
Checking blocks 0 to 322256896
Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): done
Pass completed, 312 bad blocks found.
the file contains
36434712
36434756
36434757
36448896
36448916
38853584
38853616
38854632
38854635
38854636
That aren't 312 numbers... Or am I seeing it wrong ?
thanx!!

latest versions. Took two days to run, but it completed, and I ended
up only losing 2 files out of over 1.1 million files on a 1TB RAID-5
array. That's not too bad, considering how many times the machine
went up and down due to bad power in the building.
Buy a UPS. Now. Even if it's just a big battery that will only keep you
running for 10 mins - at least that will give you enough time to do a
clean
shutdown -h rather than get stuff trashed.
If you can't get money for it, just point at the lost-productivity costs
the *next* time the terabyte takes 2 days to recover.. and remind the
boss that
you could be down for 2 days every time the lights flicker.. ;)
That's just it... Bad power in the building was due to the building's
UPS (big sucker, attached to a Cummins diesel generator) failing. That's
been fixed, so the power in the building is OK again.
Previous to the UPS going down, this building hadn't lost power in many
years. We don't have to deal with this kind of problem very often. ;-)
I've been using the array, and it's going great. ReiserFS proves to be
robust, as long as the hardware, power, and software on the system are
in good working order.
