   If MCC wasn't finished, then the bad block check wasn't finished either.   
     If you're going to do it again from the command line, I /strongly/   
   suggest you do the r/w test as part of mke2fs, before you put important   
   data on the drive and while it's still easy to return if there are   
   problems with it.
