The data on the drive is still readable (as far as I've been able to surmise), but I'm afraid to add any more data else I write to a bad block. Should I backup and reformat? Trash the drive? thanks! -david. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
