I have some bad sectors on my hard drive, so I followed the guide from this website
To detect the bad sectors, I did the following command:
sudo badblocks /dev/sda5 > /media/3865-6163/sda5
That worked fine, the next step is to run the following command:
sudo fsck -l /media/3865-6163/sda5 /dev/sda5
For some reason, this does not work for me and gives me the following message:
ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/3865-6163$ sudo fsck -l /media/3865-6163/sda5 /dev/sda5
fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
Usage: fsck.ext4 [-panyrcdfvtDFV] [-b superblock] [-B blocksize]
[-I inode_buffer_blocks] [-P process_inode_size]
[-l|-L bad_blocks_file] [-C fd] [-j external_journal]
[-E extended-options] device
Emergency help:
-p Automatic repair (no questions)
-n Make no changes to the filesystem
-y Assume "yes" to all questions
-c Check for bad blocks and add them to the badblock list
-f Force checking even if filesystem is marked clean
-v Be verbose
-b superblock Use alternative superblock
-B blocksize Force blocksize when looking for superblock
-j external_journal Set location of the external journal
-l bad_blocks_file Add to badblocks list
-L bad_blocks_file Set badblocks list

Why is this not working?
