Subject: Remapping bad SCSI disk sectors?

I've got a SCSI disk that keeps having to retry reading/writing a fair
number of disk sectors.

I did a low-level format of the drive, and it helped for about a week.

I ran "scsi -f /dev/rsd1c -m 1 -e -P 3" and cranked the retry numbers
down to 3, but it didn't seem to do anything.

What else can I do?

Is there some way to manually remap the sectors?

Thanks...
