Hi All:
Is there a utility available that will allow for the dump/display of
the bad track table of a SCSI drive. We had this capability on SCO
OSR5 but I have not been able to locate anything similar for Linux.
The closest I have found is the badblocks utility that is part of the
e2fsprogs package but this appears to only test for bad blocks not
display the current bad block table contents.
I have done quite a bit of searching with Google but either it does
not exist or (more than likely) I am using the wrong search parameters.
TIA
Regards, Hugh
Don't most modern drives cover up the bad blocks with controller logic and
spare block substitutions?
