You should first run a read only of analyze to surface analysis under format,
then repair and defect the save, but first backup your data. Your better off
breaking down and buy a new drive!
Defect management is a short term fix, not a solution for warn out media. your
drive might not support this option anyway! Used to do this on old SCSI drives
a long time ago, sound like a Star Wars triligy!
you can use fdisk to move the Solaris2 partition away from the bad erea ,
verify with a analyze rewrite , but at least 10 times wth diff patterns to
destroy or recycle if you reuse in a non critacal situation that you control
the analyze rewrite 10 times is your option.
