badblocks vs freebsd
Jackson Donadel
I new in this list, and have some questions about freebsd
My Hard Disk had a small problem with bad blocks(have some thing about 200),
in instalation i use the bad block scan.
What this bad block scan do when say "%1 will be marked BAD" ?
I can realy believe that freebsd will not use that blocks?
My HD is a Quantum Pionner 2.1 Gb using in normal mode.
I can start puting it in the air?, what kind of problems i´ll find?
I do bad144 too
router# bad144 -v /dev/wd0s1
cyl: 3960, tracks: 16, secs: 63, sec/cyl: 1008, start: 0, end: 3992436
bad block information at sector 3992562 in /dev/wd0s1:
cartridge serial number: 1234(10)
sn=15229, cn=15, tn=1, sn=46
sn=181461, cn=180, tn=0, sn=21
sn=182364, cn=180, tn=14, sn=42
sn=193144, cn=191, tn=9, sn=49
sn=197557, cn=195, tn=15, sn=52
sn=208209, cn=206, tn=8, sn=57
sn=209677, cn=208, tn=0, sn=13
sn=290649, cn=288, tn=5, sn=30
And others, others
I will apreciate any help.

Hello,
As my experiences if a HDD starts to produce bad blocks those
blocks %80 grow larger amounts. This is because some small parts
of the HDD plates are broken and while the drive spins they hit good
places and make them bad too. But this is not every time true.
If your bad block amount growed from starting soryy above is
true for you. You may have some file OK one day and next day not.
This is not FreeBSD's or some other OS fault.
Hope helped.
