Re: badblocks on sata drive
If a modern hard drive begins to let bad blocks through it's internal block relocation mechanics have failed. I recommend to take backup on everthing on that disk because this is usually a sign that the disk will die shortly.

Re: badblocks on sata drive
during dd tests i encounter hardware problems with my harddisk. is there a way to mark parts of the hdd as "bad" so those are not used anymore? not much. you may label it the way it will skip that part. anyway - sata/IDE drives has in-hardware bad block remapping. if you see bad blocks there is already out of space for remapping. OR - just something was recorded badly some time ago. clear whole drive with zeros and then retest. there is high change problem will go out. if not - don't use that drive for anything valuable at all ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
