Running "man badblocks" is the first thing that I thought of, which led 
to "man e2fsck" which says this (I hope it comes out right):

      -c     This option causes e2fsck to run  the  badblocks(8)  
program  to
             find  any blocks which are bad on the filesystem, and then 
marks
             them as bad by adding them to the  bad  block  inode.   
If  this
             option  is specified twice, then the bad block scan will 
be done
             using a non-destructive read-write test.
