Hi, On a box I have running 4.3-Release I have been getting these messages every so often: Jan 11 20:47:11 cfxu /kernel: ad0s1a: hard error reading fsbn 58622143 of 2162752-2162767 (ad0s1 bn 58622143; cn 37220 tn 10 sn 13) status=59 error=40 I assume a few bad sectors have developed on the disk. When trying to install packages I'm often getting messages related to not being able to write within /var/ such as mktemp /var/tmp failed and could not add to /var/db/pkg/... Etc so I assume these are where the bad blocks have developed. I was wondering how I can mark these blocks as unusable so I can continue to use the system until I get a replacement drive. Also when running fsck normally it does show a few blocks it could not read from. Any help would be very appreciated, the fsck manual was not much help and the archives of -questions seems to be out of order. Many Thanks.
