- I experienced the same and called for suggestions to summarize them for the faq,
- but for no nothing arrived in my post box :-(
-
- But i solved the problem for my RLL drive:
- 1. I called the routines for low level formatting (in my case the controller
- bios :-) but i think something like the Ontrack disk manager might do it as well)
- 2. then i entered the bad block list provided by the manufacturer.
- 3. i reformatted the drive and the controller managed to skip the bad spots ...
-
- There was also an earlier posting (in November i think), which provided an awk
- script to convert the bad block list to the format needed by mk(e)fs, but i was
- not able to retrieve that article ...
