Hi,

fsck checked one partition of the drive with the pending sectors.

I'll continue using the drive, as long as the new drive isn't
delivered. Everything excepted of xattrs is backed up to
an external HDD and I'm not going to store new important data on this
drive. I don't need to store the xattrs, but if I should do another
backup, I'll use a live media with a version of tar, that supports
xattrs. Usually I use an old Suse 11.2 install to backup other Linux,
with a tar version, that doesn't support the --xattrs option, but again,
I never missed them after restoring from a backup.

Ralf
