I recently posted a message about GCC not being able to compile due to dma_intr and/or read_intr errors. After receiving a response here and scouring the net I've realized that the problem lies on the drive itself (bad blocks or similar). My question is how do I go about fixing the problem? Will a forced fsck (fsck.ext2 -f /dev/hdb3) be sufficient? I know that when Debian installs, it gives the option to scan for and mark bad sections of the disk... will I need to reinstall to insure that no files are sitting on corrupt sections of the disk? (Re-installing is an option for me). Or is there anyway to 'recover' the data from those bad block and fix everything without going to such extemes? Thanks.
