    fsck fixed the metadata errors. It doesn't attempt to access data blocks.
    If there's a bad block in a data area, it won't help.

When I read the first message in this thread, I wondered whether the
cartridge was formatted with a ``quick format'' or a slow one that
finds bad blocks. If it was a quick format, it might be worth trying
again with a full format.
