Help: Bad sector on sda -- cannot mkfs, mke2fs

Post by Tam, Loong » Fri, 02 Jul 1993 07:35:00



Hey guys,

        I got a trouble that I cannot mkfs or mke2fs. I have the latest
a1.3 from tsx-11.mit.edu. It boots ok but when it check my 311MB scsi
drive, it showed that was a Adaptec 1542. However, my drive is an Adaptec
1540. Does it make difference???

        Also, when I fdisk, it told me certain sectors were bad and cannot
" mkfs ". When I do " mkfs ", it cannot and come out "bad sector before the
data block, sector number ____  ".

        Can somebodies help me out?! I will be appreciated.

        It would be more convinent if the comments are sent directly
to my account which is :


        Thank you very much.

Long

A question on mkfs/mke2fs.

I found, for a same partition, after formatting the
part, Slackware's install SETUP leaves more space than
I (at the smae inode density 4096 as default), so I'm
curious to know what options does SETUP use with mkfs
(man page of mkfs/mke2fs won't give me a unique answer,
you know that)  Anyone knows?
