I've got a IDE disk with bad sectors, which I will be replacing at month end. I need to keep the drive going until then though, and I've tried bad144 -s -v wd1, which doesn't really seem to mark the sectors bad. Is there something else I can do to prevent the OS from trying to read those parts of the disk that are gone ?
