Public bug reported: Binary package hint: e2fsck-static
Running fsck -cv /dev/hda6 on Sony Vayo PCG-Z1VGP with Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 (Herd 3) to mark bad blocks on my filesystem. On a "normal" HDD, it will run fine, but I have some bad blocks on my disk. When it gets to read them, the above command will halt into a continuous loop, giving next message: [xxx:xxxxxx] Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying access hardware directly. Note that CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK will start blinking simultaneously, and the system will come unresponsive, only the above message will go into a continuous loop. Normal result expected should be something like: IO error, cannot read the block xxxx. Booting with Ubuntu 6.06 live CD, I can correct the problem, but not with Feisty (either installed or live cd). ** Affects: e2fsprogs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- "fsck -c" on a HDD with bad sectors (ubuntu feisty herd 3) https://launchpad.net/bugs/83848 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
