how to check badsector on ext4 6TB

Question

dat08 <- c() for(i in 0:63) {
  temp <- read.table(paste0("run",i,".txt"), sep=" ") dat08 <- rbind(dat08, temp)

}

This is what I have currently, but I am not sure how to go about fixing these errors:

1. Error: unexpected 'for' in "dat08 <- c() for"
2. Error: unexpected symbol in " temp <- read.table(paste0("run",i,".txt"), sep=" ") dat08"
3. Error: unexpected '}' in "}"

Solution

for me the trick was to simply increase the blocksize:

badblocks -b 4096 -v /dev/sda

that not help at all :( any specific solution for ubuntu x64 14.04?

I read that link and it looks like it's definitely specific to this.

Ivan, the link mentioned explains that badblocks can't cope with HDDs that large. You'll not get it to run on your 6TB HDD, no matter what you'll do.

ok so if 6 TB HDD, what should i do ? or make partition 2 tb? or 1tb?

Thank you. This worked for my 10TB drive. Hopefully for my 16TB drive soon

Didn't work with my 18 (in fact, 16+) Tb HDD :(
