IDE disks bad sectors: Recently I installed an IDE disk with a lot bad sectors to experiment a real situation and I get a lot of errors with fsck and errors related to the read/write of the damaged sectors. The question is: what's the best way to solve the bad sectors problem on IDE disks? There is anyway of "mark" the bad serctor so the OS doesn't write to them? 2. Secondary master to primary master change I have a motherboard that have the primary master and slave broken but it worked with the disk installed on the secundary master interface. Recently I purchase a new motherboard and installed the disk on the primary master. My problem is that the FreeBSD stops on single user mode and it gives the error that it can't mount the rest of the partitions. I noticed that the slices are like "ad2s1f" and I think that it must be like "ad0s1f" to work on the primary master. There is anyway of changing this to work. I know that this is a newbie question, so I just want to know were I can find the documentation to learn better this problems. Thanks vey much, - -- Nuno Teixeira Dir.
