A recent power spike left me with an unreadable block on an IDE drive, which FDISK can't fix, so I can't mount the partition. Fortunately it only contained a Squid cache, and more fortunately I had a spare partition which I was able to use so the machine is up and running. However I'd like to use the partition with the bad block. Is there any way I can map it out at the disk controller level, or failing that to tell newfs not to use that block when remaking the filesystem? -- Jim Hatfield To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
