Second, I'm not sure it is necessary. Thes days, bad block handling should
be left to the hard drive. On SCSI since day 1 and IDE since at least 10
years ago, the hard drive smarts handle bad blocks in a manner transparent
to the user. If you start to see bad blocks, it is time to buy a new hard
drive.

Yes... now with drives with the S.M.A.R.T. capabilities bad block handling
is just time consuming...
