Hi All, Is there a way to check the harddisk health before CentOS installation.?
One way I used to do was by using --badblocks check in ks.cfg file while using RH 7.2.
This is not working (atleast not with the same syntax asin RH 7.2) in CentOS. Is there an alternate (correct) syntax or is there a new (better) way to check harddisk health before CentOS installation?
If you boot in rescue mode, you can run "fsck -c -c /dev/..." on any partitions. If the partitions look good, you should be safe to install.
