That is probably because badblocks was working with badblocks of a smaller size than that of the filesystem (i.e. probably 1024 bytes instead of 4096 bytes, solution in this case is to divide all bad block numbers by 4). Well that's what happened to me today (worryingly on my newish IBM DTLA hd). -- http://ape.n3.net
