Isn't this obsolete nowadays? SMART capable drives should remap bad |
| 14 |
sectors automatically and replace them by spare sectors. Running badblocks |
| 15 |
-n might be necessary though in order to make the drive acess every block. |

So I would not trust a drive any more that actually still shows bad |
| 18 |
blocks. |
