<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Morning all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I have a problem on a drive in my main server and now
the server does not boot up. The drive has a bad block and i was wondering
if there are any tools I can run to move this block. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>What I've done so far:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I've run reiserfsck to check the drive partition, its a
reiserfs file system (reiserfsch -CV /dev/sda2; </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I've run the SuSE installation and selected repair
system to try to fix the drive.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I've done all the steps up to step 5 on the
following document (<A
href="http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html#reiserfs_ex">http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html#reiserfs_ex</A>);
for some reason it keeps stating that it has a bad starting block.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I wanted to know if possible can I run the Seagate drive
utility from initial boot up or is this not recommended.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
