Does anyone know if the Seagate Medallist SCSI drives actually > support this feature? I haven't seen any Seagate that wouldn't support it. Almost no disk has turned it on by default, instead it seems that the intention is that the driver should normally be alerted, so that it could log the failure somewhere for later reference, and finally ask the drive to explicitly (as opposed to automagically) remap the bad block. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
