Once, long ago--actually, on Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 06:19:59AM CDT--Alan Cox (alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) said: > Rubbish. Beg to differ. Remember, drives have reserved storage to remap bad sectors *before* you ever see a bad sector at the interface. So, by the time you think you're seeing only 8 bad sectors, you've actually burned through the reserved sectors--many more have failed than you realize. Look at the SMART report on the drive; that will tell you how many sectors have been reallocated and how many spare sectors are left in the G-list (user microcode remapping).
