Why can't I restore a dumped fs which has had bad sectors saved off with the badsect program? For example on one disk, file systems /var and / restore OK. But /usr (wherethe BAD folder is) won't have it! The error with 'restore tf' tells me it can't read the fs , skipping blocks etc. Is this a known problem with badsect? Regards, Paul
