I have a very nice Snap 1100 with SnapOS 4.0.854, or so I thought until it started playing up and running really slow. After a bit of investigation I find a bad spot on the disk, and no amount of fscking around will get past it.
So - I have a disk with a basically good file system, and well down the disk, beyond almost all my data, there's a bad spot. Every restart finds the spot, takes the disk offline and flags it for a thorough check next time, so I can't get at my data in the good area.
How can I modify the behaviour of fsck so that it does the (usual) short check at restart that doesn't find the bad spot? If I can do this I can get all my data off without having resort to restoring from back-up media (an operation that could take days)
Help, please!
