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.
