I'm wondering about this '-l|-L" option - man page doesn't say
anything about expected format of this file. Will a list like
0x000000001
...
0x100000000
do ?
And am I right that the result of "e2fsck -L mybadblocks"
will make sure that the fs won't access those ever ?
Just curious, got a few bad blocks on my drive which neither
low level format (SCSI 06 that is) nor reassign (07) can deal with :-((
