They remap bad sectors automatically, so when they report bad sectors to the host, it means that the drive has run out of spare sectors and is typically a sign that the drive is going to fail catastrophically soon. Backup and replace is the only sensible thing to do. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
