Then a bad drive should not matter or you have done something wrong. RAID5 has redundancy for one drive so you should not loose any data. But agreed. Bad blocks management is a needed feature of any filesystem. Just as defragment support utils. >From what I understood is Reiser4 going to improve on all areas.
