No, don't think so. I have a patch, but I'm not so sure I can recommend that you use it. I only wrote it to copy off a single block of a bad disk - I'm not sure exactly how it will behave when moving multiple blocks (if the non-corrupted blocks will end up in the right spot, or if it writes too little data, so it will be some bytes off). -- Ragnar Kjørstad Big Storage
