Bad sectors get reallocated automatically, so you might not find any with testing. You need to see how many have been reallocated.
<snip> Maybe, but I'd fsck -C -c /dev/.... ^^ - check for bad blocks, put them in the table
I could do that soon
But I don't want to use DMA on this drive (/dev/hde) anyway.
In the BIOS I turn DMA off for /dev/hda and /dev/hdc, but they still show up in /proc/ide/.../settings as using_dma 1.
So is the kernel ignoring the BIOS DMA settings?
32-bit transfer mode is on in the BIOS though.
