Hi Slug, I'm trying to save a failing NTFS hard drive. It manages to mount and during copying the following error will appear in dmesg:
Buffer I/O error on device sdc3, logical block 786433 I don't mind corrupting some files. Can I instruct badblocks to add the failings blocks to the bad block register (I'm assuming that's how badblocks/hard drives work). Thus whilst copying, I will not get any block errors. -- Simon Males -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
