Seidl" Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Customer # 869242 Invoice # 05951000 After I installed FreeBSD 2.0 a few weeks ago, my hard disk crashed a few times. I have to reformat the whole hard disk. When I used the DOS scandisk to scan the hard disk, it found one bad cluster. In DOS, it marks a bad cluster so that DOS doesn't write to that cluster. But, when I reinstall FreeBSD 2.0, the file system is panic and immediately crashes. Would you give me some advice on how to avoid that bad cluster so that FreeBSD doesn't use any bad cluster? Could that bad cluster be some kind of virus program? Please advise. Thanks a lot.
