> I ran fsck on /dev/pda1 and it reported errors and proceeded to fix them,
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.
