The debugfs program would tell you this. However, e2fsck does not scan
your disk for unreadable physical disk blocks, only for errors in the
filesystem's book-keeping of what blocks belong to what files, etc.
The "badblocks" program does that scan. If you have an IDE or SCSI disk
of recent vintage, don't bother looking for unreadable disk blocks - modern
drives implement bad-sector-forwarding, and "repair" bad blocks on their own.
Unless something is seriously wrong with your hardware, your Debian
system will take care of its disks without your intervention. It knows
to check its filesystems after a crash and does it automaticaly.
