It would be smarter, but it does not cover RAID. The logic to determine which file is bad does not work. And if you correct your disk this way you may corrupt your array. Until the RAID software has support for bad blocks, just remove the disk from the array, then correct the bad block. The web site mentioned does have some good info. But not all drives support the smartctl options needed. My disks do not.

Hi for the record a somewhat smarter way to do that manualy is discribed at http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/BadBlockHowTo.txt Cheers -- Marcel de Riedmatten - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
