Dear all, I am releasing a tool that I have created for my FreeBSD servers, that can check /var/log/messages and smartctl output and locate automatically the file that carries the bad sector (if there is). Many times I needed a tool like this when I was a novice FreeBSD user, and I was not able to find it. Only some expert tips on using a plethora of tools, but a complete example was missing. So I decided to contribute to FreeBSD. It is written in pure sh. Feel free to send me patches to post them. It has been tested in some of the FreeBSD 12 servers that I administer. It is located at the link http://arch.ece.uowm.gr/mdasyg/misc/hard_disk_locate_bad_sector_from_vfs_smartctl.sh in my page http://arch.ece.uowm.gr/mdasyg/mdmiscellaneous.php --- Dr. Minas Dasygenis Electrical and Computer Engineer
