I think it's important to call out the exact failure scenario you're
trying to address.  For hard disks, if you get a read error, it can
typically be recovered by re-writing the block.  I imagine this is what
fsck would be doing for metadata repair.  So, I'm not at all sure why
you'd want to track bad blocks in the file system itself.  Could you
elaborate, please?

Cheers,
Jeff
