I've been using XFS for a while now but eventually got bad sectors on many disks and found XFS to be of limited help when that happens. So, looking for alternatives I got interested in NILFS development. Do I understand correctly that NILFS is not really better than other FS (xfs) when the hardware deteriorates and bad sectors appear? Is it in the plans to somehow 'support' bad sectors reallocation (or such)? ... > Note that NILFS still lacks fsck.

Curious on any scenario you have in mind for such a case to show up? Hardware malfunction and/or hdd access from outside NILFS? A bug? Something else?
