I corrected it,but I don't have code for now.(It is at my desktop computer, 50km far from here.) To use this tool, # dd if=/dev/${DEV} of=/dev/null (${DEV} is the device where the bad sector exiist) and if bad secter exist, it stops at the block count of the bad sector. ${AAAA}+0 records in ${AAAA}+0 records out ${BBBB} bytes transferred in ${XX} secs (${YY} bytes/sec) then use # badsect /${FS}/BAD ${AAAA} in singule user mode with the ${FS} mounted. Then unmount the ${FS} and use fsck.
