If you have some media that require renaming, Filebot can quickly rename a bulk of media files by pulling their metadata from specific resources. This is great until the application became closed source or behind the paywall. There are many forks of the last open-source version, but the repo from coppit/filebot is a docker container …
First thing first, running badblocks will wipe the entire disk. Make sure that there is no data on the disk before running badblocks.
