[Wolves] Question 1st, Rant 2nd

[Peter Cannon]

Hi All

Question.

Is there any issues if I do;

#sudo apt-get -dist-upgrade 

For Dapper if Dapper is already installed? Or how do I tell if Dapper is 
installed having done the vi trick on the Breezy apt/sources.list?

I cant remember if I upgraded the Breezy install on my IBM X20, I remember 
setting it up ready and the sources.list relates to Dapper but I think I 
shoved it in the cupboard as I knew it would take a while and I didn't have 
the time.

Rant.

F$%&@ P$£@?& S%$£@ fsck, e2fsck oh yeah poxy LVM. So far I have spent 7 days 
poncing around with three differant HDD's all reported bad sectors disk 1 was 
a 40GB I got the data off and stuck a screw driver through it in temper disk2 
20GB again bad sectors, I threw that one in the bin.

Disk3 (This one) bad sectors, can I run any checkers on it? can I bollocks, 
the web and the forums all say "Oh just run fsck" get stuffed you lying pigs 
that doesn't work especially with LVM.

I finally managed to find a post tucked away on a missleading subject that LVM 
often says bad blocks and that fixing LVM is patchy at best.

So I stabbed the 40GB for nothing, ditched the 20GB for no good reason and now 
face the option of trying to put an EXT3 on and taking another two sodding 
days to get everything back.

(Of course all the drives could have bad sectors I suppose?)

Rant Over.
