bad blocks? or what :}?

i just reboot my computer and get the following message

/dev/sda1: Reiserfs super block in block 16 on /dev/sda1 of format 3.6 ...

Blocks (total/free): 8544568/7661259 by 4096 bytes
Filesystem is clean
Warning... fsck.reiserfs for device /dev/sda1 exited with signal 6

*** FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED ***

...Please repair manuall and reboot ...

....

so i try manually to repair that partition with reiserfsck /dev/sda1
but all i get is some error/waring that i have bad blocks
and advice to change my disk :}

i need to stop checking disk at startup in fstab so i can boot into arch.

Re: bad blocks? or what :}?

Hello,

According to the fsck.reiserfs man page, exit code 6 means this:
6 - File system fixable errors left uncorrected, fsck.reiserfs --fix-fixable needs to be launched.

Have you tried running fsck.reiserfs --fix-fixable ?
