Re: 13000Gig partition badblock check is the same -- do a reiserfsck again ? -> ran badblocks

[Matthias Barremaecker <info@mh.be>]

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!!
