You've reported doing this multiple times. Are you aware that OpenSSH in included with OpenBSD? You can control your OpenBSD system from another, even from the Internet. You could # pkill Xorg or # halt or ... perhaps look through logs to see what is happening, while it is happening. This isn't Windows, mashing a power button is not always necessary.
See the ssh(1) and sshd(8) man pages, if you've never used them before. Quote:

The badblocks test has finally ended;it took 3-4 days( i had to stop it once cause i needed to take the laptop with me) and started it over.
The output of badblocks -w is Code:
badblocks: Unknown code ext2 adding to in-memory bad block list and above that it has numbers from 857210853 to 857211362. I can remember that before ending i could see even smaller numbers to the terminal(around 7******** don't remember exactly :/ ) that now cannot be shown to the terminal and cannot copy paste the onces i can see right now. |

The script(1) tool is a wonderful aid to logging what you are doing; I mentioned it to you in one of your other threads the other day. But you have reproduced for us key information from badblocks, and from SMART. And this time, you managed to reproduce for us a complete report from smartctl. Thank you.
It looks to me like the badblocks program was unable to "clear" up bad sectors for you (by having the drive select from spare sectors) when it wrote patterns. You still have 18 "Pending" sectors, and 16 "Offline uncorrectable" sectors. The latter came during the one-and-only long offline test ever performed on the drive. That test never completed, it was stopped after only 10% of the sectors were inspected. This failure to clear sectors indicates to me that the drive has no spare sectors remaining. If it were my drive, I would no longer trust it. If you want a picture of how many bad sectors are actually on that drive, run a long offline test. This will read every sector on the drive. It will take longer than the 255 minutes described in the smartctl report; that is the time it would take if all sectors were working. Retrying bad sectors will extend that time, as the drive will retry and retry and retry each bad sector. Once the test completes, you can compare your 16 offline uncorrectable sectors now with the number in a new report. |

And since you wouldn't i won't either.It's too bad 'cause i bought it some months ago and on the other hand i have a western digital external disk for about 4 years and so far it works great.And i'm kinda more unlucky 'cause by changing the case i lost gurantee but it's ok; i've learned a lot of things this days and some useful tools too.Thank you again for all the help jggimi. |

One more thing.
Since badblocks had some trouble -- with a 510-sector area (that ended at at sector 857211362) and some other sector sets whose sector numbers you did not capture, I would *still* run a test of the drive electronics (short offline) and of the media (long offline). It is possible that the drive is functioning, but the USB electronics (or your cable) are causing trouble. If both tests complete without error, you can then consider the enclosure electronics and USB cable to be "suspect." At that point I would swap the drive in the enclosure with a known-good drive, and put the 2TB drive into an internal bay in a desktop or server for additional testing. |
