[Aurora-sparc-user] fsck as part of installation.

[Chris Andrew]

Hi, all.

Thanks to some great input from ~spot, it looks like I am getting an
Aurora install on a SPARCstation20 (both processors...not yet!).

When I examine the tty on CTL+ALT+f4, I notice that the log is giving
disc errors.

Does anyone know whether it is possible as part of the (text) install
to do a e2fsck -c -c?:



       -c     This  option  causes  e2fsck to use badblocks(8) program to do a
              read-only scan of the device in order to find  any  bad  blocks.
              If  any  bad  blocks  are found, they are added to the bad block
              inode to prevent them from being allocated to a file  or  direc‐
              tory.   If  this  option  is specified twice, then the bad block
              scan will be done using a non-destructive read-write test.

I feel that may solve my disc problem.  The disc is probably 15 years
old, so I need to treat it with care ;-).

Cheers,

Chris.
