Hi there. My hard disk had one or some bad blocks today. The following line appears in /var/log/messages when trying to read from the defective area. Apr 2 18:54:20 rock /kernel: ad2s1e: hard error reading fsbn 2917127 of 1458496-1458735 (ad2s1 bn 2917127; cn 181 tn 148 sn 38) status=59 error=40 My questions are: -- how do I check for bad blocks on my disk? (Better if doesn't requires to shutdown or format partitions/disks) -- what's the actually best way to mark bad blocks unusable? I've read something about bad144 but it seems to be obsolete in 4.0 line. Should I use manufacturers utility to mark them? Should I create brand new partitions after that or can I just keep data there? Thanks. --- Geraldo da Silva geraldo@flopnet.com.br To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
