For what I understand Offline uncorrectable means that the sector would be
relocated the next time it is accessed for writing... so it is on a "wait for
relocation" status.
I don't know of any other way to force this relocation other tha actually
writing over the sector (a simple read doesn't trigger the relocation)...
And yes, I know that a disk with bad blocks isn't reliable, but you remember?
I'm too lazy to send my home disks back to the manufacturer ;)
