[plug] BadBlocks

[Earnshaw, Mike]

Luggers,

If you execute the bad blocks program in rw mode and get it to spit out
=
a file of those blocks, does the OS also keep track and not write to =
them? I have an ext2 fs on a big SCSI that has some bad blocks but for =
some reason after the initial install the OS still tried to write to it.

Is there another way to tell the OS not to use a portion of the disk?
