How to add badblocks to initramfs
The following works under Debian buster and probably will work under older and newer Debian releases and under Ubuntu. Maybe it will also work on other Linux distributions:
$ cat /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/copy_badblocks
#!/bin/sh
PREREQ=""
prereqs()
{
echo "$PREREQ"
}
case $1 in
prereqs)
prereqs
exit 0
;;
esac
. /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions
# Begin real processing below this line
copy_exec /sbin/badblocks /sbin
# update-initramfs -u
