If the drive has a physical failure in the mechanism or media, you may need
to send it off to ontrack and have them try to recover the data.

I am wondering if there is a way to read the physical blocks (those

Hi,
Last week my mail server disk crashed. I restarted the machine with

the emails received during the last day.
I cannot do a low level SCSI verify, it may be that all spare sectors
have been reallocated. I cannot run an fsck.
