I recently was trying badblocks and tried- the following thing - 

$ sudo badblocks -v  -s /dev/sda8
Checking blocks 0 to 1300928511
Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): ^C7.81% done, 12:38 elapsed. (0/0/0 errors)

Interrupted at block 101550528

Is there a way to get total time estimation of a partition ?

  • Have you tried to calculate an estimation from the percentage of completion and the time elapsed? – dirkt Aug 11 '19 at 04:23
  • badblocks only gives the message you've already shown. So: no, not unless you implement it yourself. Note that those ETAs are always off by a great margin (HDDs don't have uniform speed across their surface). – frostschutz Aug 11 '19 at 07:34
  • I know that there is difference in speeds at the center of a traditional spinning disk and at the edges. – shirish Aug 14 '19 at 01:24
