Hard Disk Problem
Does anyone know of any commands that offer the same sort of facilities of scandisk on windows. My Linux server (Mandrake 6.2) keeps crashing and gives hard disk errors when I reboot. I've used fcsk to fix any problems that arise but when I use dumpe2fs to display disk information it says that the file system is still not clean. Any ideas how to make it clean and check for erros (i.e. bad blocks etc)
Thanks for your help

mkfs.minix
MKFS.MINIX(8) System Administration MKFS.MINIX(8)
NAME
mkfs.minix - make a Minix filesystem
SYNOPSIS
mkfs.minix [options] device [size-in-blocks]
DESCRIPTION
mkfs.minix creates a Linux MINIX filesystem on a device (usually a disk partition).
The device is usually of the following form:
/dev/hda[1-8] (IDE disk 1)
/dev/hdb[1-8] (IDE disk 2)
/dev/sda[1-8] (SCSI disk 1)
/dev/sdb[1-8] (SCSI disk 2)
The device may be a block device or a image file of one, but this is not enforced. Expect not much fun on a character device :-).
The size-in-blocks parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks. It is present only for backwards compatibility. If omit-
ted the size will be determined automatically. Only block counts strictly greater than 10 and strictly less than 65536 are allowed.
OPTIONS
-c, --check
Check the device for bad blocks before creating the filesystem. If any are found, the count is printed.
-n, --namelength length
Specify the maximum length of filenames. Currently, the only allowable values are 14 and 30 for file system versions 1 and 2. Ver-
sion 3 allows only value 60. The default is 30.
-i, --inodes number
Specify the number of inodes for the filesystem.
-l, --badblocks filename
Read the list of bad blocks from filename. The file has one bad-block number per line. The count of bad blocks read is printed.
-1 Make a Minix version 1 filesystem. This is the default.
-2, -v Make a Minix version 2 filesystem.
-3 Make a Minix version 3 filesystem.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit. The long option cannot be combined with other options.
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.minix is one of the following:
0 No errors
8 Operational error
16 Usage or syntax error
SEE ALSO
fsck(8), mkfs(8), reboot(8)
AVAILABILITY
The mkfs.minix command is part of the util-linux package and is available from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
