That for some reason, limits the size of the hdd. I don't know why this option exists, but it does. Also, you never get 70GB out of a 70GB hdd. Once again, i don't know why. It's just the way it is.

How can i check if it has bad sectors? A friend suggested me low-level format but I never done that before under unix. Also, do i need to be in single-user (I dont have physical access, only remote root via ssh).
