Date: 26 Jul 1995 20:20:17 GMT Organization: Image Tech Computing Lines: 17 Message-ID: <3v6821$7u9@heathers.stdio.com> Reply-To: risner@stdio.com NNTP-Posting-Host: os2 X-Newsreader: IBM NewsReader/2 v1.2 I had a disk with bad sectors. bad144 -v wd0s2 showed about 20. somehow when it was installed, it made "/usr/bin/perl" contain block 67610 which was in the bad144 table created when installed. My question is how did this happen? Doesn't newfs mark out these sectors? Also the only fix was to "bad144 -c wd0s2 67610" and THIS fixed it. perl was corrupt, but it did quit spawning messages when read. Do I need to bad144 -c all the ones LISTED in the bad144 list?
