>Environment:
FreeBSD 2.0.5 and later that support bad144 -s processing
>Description:
From Bruce Evans:
Actually it would be a good idea to check the 126 + (5 * 2 -1) sectors
beyond the above `bend' and complain louder if any are bad. I'm not
sure if bad144 handles recursive remapping of bad sectors! I think
it handles bad sectors in the bad sector table itself OK. There are
5 copies of the table, and the first good one is used.
>How-To-Repeat:
Find a disk with a bad block in the bad144 spare sector area
and note that bad144 -s does not find it. Not sure what will
happen if bad144 goes to remap a block into this area and finds
that the remap block is bad.
>Fix:
For bad144 change bend to size in the scan loop, for the
kernel handling of recursive mapping unknown.
