> > Should bad144 be retired? Why, have you come up with a new "media perfection layer" which sits in Julian's new slice code under devfs to replace it so you can still use WD1007 ESDI controllers, MFM, RLL, and other drives that don't support automatic bad sector forwarding? Personally, I think if bad144 is retired, you might as well retire wd drives that don't have LBA modes like SCSI has. After all, "all modern devices" see drives as a linear array of sectors which never go bad, right?
