  13. A couple days I posted a note asking:
  14.  
  15. > Is there a utility I can use to map out the bad blocks on
  16. > this disk?  It seems like /usr/etc/disk is the right utility,
  17. > but the "bad" command only seems to work on opticals.  Is
  18. > there another utility that will do this, or is my only option
  19. > to replace the disk?  Thanks.

  21. I received a few replies, one of which pointed me to ftp'ing
  22. a program from NeXT.com.  The program is called "reasb" (for
  23. "reassign block") and is anonymous ftp-able from next.com in
  24. the directory /pub/Misc/Utilities/reasb.  I compiled and ran
  25. the program and it seems to do the trick--that is, I no longer
  26. am getting the scsi/"bread" error messages.
  27.  
  28. Thanks to Bob Brown (brown@quorum.com) for pointing the way to this.
