If you do get bad blocks that is a sure sign that the disk is nearing the end of its life. Make a backup of it and get a new disk. If you are using some older drive that doesn't handle remapping of bad blocks itself you will have to run 3.x which has bad144. There is no replacement for bad144 in 4.x -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
