Milton) Organization: Just me and my computer, Columbus Ohio Lines: 14 Yup, I've got them too. I just went through the whole re-load rigamarole, and I don't want to do it again. Is there a way to find out which file a given bad block is in? I will write a program if the answer is no. It should be a simple matter of traversing all the allocated block numbers through the i-nodes until the block is found. If I had source to an fsck or a disk block accounting program, that would be enough. Anybody out there want to mail me one of these? Please please please.
