Hello Wolfgang.
I have found your e-mail address in an older post on WWW
in some Linux web board/forum. You mentioned there is a
way to perform a write test on a partirion using fsck or
mke2fs. Can you tell me how to do it ? I used fsck but it
only does a read-only test. Is there any way I can do a
write test on my drive ?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Uros W.

This is actually a mailing list address...

man badblocks(8), see -w and -n parameters. You can optionally
use "mke2fs -c <dev>" to do the badblocks checking at the same
time as you create the filesystem.
Cheers, Andreas
