Agree.

Sigh. I am inclined to agree. Obviously they didn't hire me to write
the firmware on the drive.

That would only reach files on the partition where it is run. Since
there is another operating system on this drive, and there are parts of
the drive normally inaccessible to any operating system, I decided
instead to boot to a USB stick and run badblocks. The read-only test
took 12 minutes and reported no errors.

I now have a writing test (-w) running. It has reported no failures on
its first pass.
