- Use BACKUP or any other tool you have written to accept and ignore the
- forced error, copying the file. Delete the original. The block is
- happily revectored and can be reused by a WRITE operations, its just
- that the system has reason to suspect that the data in the block MIGHT
- be corrupted and VMS taks data integrity very seriously. So seriously
- in this case that you have to be prepared to dismiss an ERROR return to
- get to it.
-
- Tool suggestions:
-
- A useful tool for someone to write (who is so inclined) would be a
- utility program to read and rewrite the blocks of a file handling and
- checking about forced errors as they happen.
-
- Another interesting varation on that tool would be something to run on
- a privately mounted disk to read or double read and compare, overwrite
- with test patterns, and then rewrite each block on a disk.
