I tried 'bad144 sd1' and here is an excerpt: sn=509571, cn=11316, tn=59, sn=56 sn=1100276, cn=24436, tn=111, sn=101 sn=1145378, cn=25446, tn=50, sn=58 bad144: /dev/rsd1c: bad flag in bad-sector table bad144: /dev/rsd1c: bad magic number bad144: cyl/trk/sect out of range in existing entry: sn=682930, cn=15163, tn=119, sn=0 bad144: cyl/trk/sect out of range in existing entry: sn=1272565, cn=28265, tn=105, sn=115 Does this mean that the bad sector information on this disk is corrupt and not useful? Or does it mean that bad144 only applies to wd devices? Or does it mean something else altogether?
