No. Maybe you get your formatter to work around the bad blocks, only to learn after a few days these two were the first two of a whole lot of bad blocks appearing out of nowhere. > 3.-Right now I'm running in read-only FS mode.

A better bet would be to boot with both kernel and fixit floppies. Mounting the hard disk partitions should be trivial. Backing up will become tricky, since there are at least two block which cannot be read. You have to learn which files contain those, then exclude thoise files from the backup. dump or dd will almost certainly fail, try tar to back up to a DOS partition. Anyhow, you really want another hard disk. HTH -Christoph Sold To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
