Message-ID: <20010211005023.A53333@canyon.nothing-going-on.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Organization: FreeBSD Project Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG -questions (I'm not subscribed, please cc: replies to me). I'm looking at PR docs/19010 at the moment, which describes a problem if you upgrade from 3.x to 4.x, when (apparently) bad sector handling went away. I never did an upgrade in this way (my 3.x to 4.x where all reinstalls, rather than source upgrades) so I don't know if this was ever actually an issue out in the wild. If it was, and people think it's useful to document it in the FAQ, please could you let me know. Similarly, if it's an non-issue, I'd appreciate knowing too. Thanks.
