- On my HD I've got a couple of bad sectors (or blocks or
- whatever...) When I run the "find" command it allways stops at this
- block an retries a couple of times before finaly giving up. Is there
- any way I can tell linux about this bad spot on my hd so that
- it doesn't try to read or write it?
