Eng., Univ. Natal, Durban, S. Africa Lines: 21 Message-ID: <laloue1.11.0@elaine.ee.und.ac.za> NNTP-Posting-Host: pc-ec51.ee.und.ac.za I've just tried to use a maxtor xt4170e as wd1a with a NetBSD system, and it has some bad sectors on it, (bad cluster as well I think) can anyone inform me how to use the BAD144 table so that the kernal will avoid using the sectors that are'nt civilised enough. Seriously, any help with the bad sector problem will be gratefully accepted. I have a 48Mb .TAR file with the previous NetBSD sources and stuff in it that I tried to restore, but kept coming up against bad sectors, and stuff All replies to LALOUE1@ELAINE.EE.UND.AC.ZA if there's a problem with that one try LALOUE@LUCY.EE.UND.AC.ZA thanx.
