Thats the curious part- I have not had problems reading or writing from
certain partitions but this particular partition- hdb3 (primary) I could
not write to reliably nor could I read from it even with a simple ls. I
also had similar probs when I tried to format hdb2 (primary) with mke2fs
-c /dev/hdb2; it gave me the exact same error but eventually it worked
though I lost about 200megs of space which I guess was deallocated as
bad sectors. Now that partition has been working fine. The irony is I
got this partition to format without a single error but now that Im
trying to use it Im getting all these other errors.
