It appears that my disk has some badblocks. I
am attempting to run 'e2fsck -cf /dev/hda4'
to clear it up. It says that it is detecting
them and fixing them but then I run the same
command and it finds the same ones again.
Is this normal? I would think it would already
now the sector is bad and not try it.

Anyway, it appears it is not fixing the problem.

AM I mising something?

I run 2.0.36pre14 slackware 3.5
