How to check image for Bad sectors?

[Frank Murphy]

When checking  if bad sectors, are the cause of guest problems.
Do you run badblocks -sv /dev/*da
from the host,
or should the guest be booted,
and badblocks -sv /dev/vda

We've never added badblocks support to libguestfs because I never
believed that it would be an issue for virtual machines.  However it
would be quite easy to add.
