Hi, Patrick:

 I tested my badblocks (from E2fsprogs 1.22) on a
Slackware 8.0 distribution using kernel 2.4.19 and when I

 'badblocks -v -n /dev/hdb1'

 the following three lines appear immediately:
Initializing random test data
Checking for bad blocks in non-destructive read-write mode
From block 0 to 8225248

A portion of 'man badblocks' returns:

-n  Use non-destructive read-write  mode.  By default
    only  a  non-destructive  read-only  test  is done.
    This option  must  not  be  combined  with  the  -w
    option, as they are mutually exclusive.

-v  Verbose mode.

 What EXACTLY happens when you do the same?

Perhaps

HTH, Chuck
