Hi Lec:

Thanks. That does seem match with what I was asking about and does
match with the SCO OSR5 badtrk utility. However it turns out that
what I was asking for was not precisely what I was actually looking
for. What I wanted to do was to see the contents of the SCSI bad
block table not the OS filesystem bad block table (as seen by the
Linux dumde2fs -b or the SCO OSR5 badtrk utilities). It turns out
that what I actually need was the sginfo command from the sg3_utils
package.

Thanks again for your comments though.

Regards, Hugh
