From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey did you find a solution? I maybe found something that could interest you !
Complementing @thebrain anwser, I totally wiped and fixed bad sectors on a old SSD drive I fought was borked because of alot of unallocated pending sectors. (In/out errors)
Keep in mind this is advanced stuff and could not work in your case and EVEN brick your hard drive. You will lost all your data and everything will be rewriten.
Manually rewrite sectors

Full wipe with "--security-erase-enhanced"
https://tinyapps.org/docs/wipe_drives_hdparm.html
This can take some time (3hours in my case) and it looks like your terminal is stuck, don't worry just wait until it finishes !
Again this can be DANGEROUS ! Only attempt such mesure if you don't care to lose your hard drive.
No I am still working on this. Thanks for the advice. I was having trouble with hdparm because I didn't have enough information about with sectors are bad. Was trying to use ddrescue to make a map. Thanks for the resources
