Hi all, I have a disk which has just developed a bad sector in the middle of swap space. I'm seeing occasional: swap_pager: I/O error - pagein failed; blkno 38626,size 32768, error 5 errors in the logs, and whichever application happens to have a page there is killed. The 'blkno' value is always the same. I realise that I need to replace the disk. However, while I'm waiting until I can schedule the downtime, is there a short term solution I can use to stop FreeBSD (I'm running current from a couple of months ago) from trying to use this block?
