When I try to map them out with 'badsect', it reports that the disk partition is busy. Using 'bad144' doesn't seem to do the trick either. So, what's going on here? Does Freebsd support neither of its two utilities for dealing with imperfect disks? Are there any other bad disk management utilities lurking? Will NOMAD hunt me down and destroy my disk because it is imperfect? -- Lance Norskog thinman@netcom.com Artisputtingtogether. Art s th ow n aw y.
