about bad blocks

[Lyndon David]

Hi,

I am working with the 2.2.13 kernel to set up a very simple situation where the 
partitions
are just mirrored across two ide disks raid1.

My question is what happens with bad blocks ? Does the underlying device driver have 
any
concept of them and map them out or does a disk that develops a bad block just fail ?
