Hi, I've seen several SD cards used in my raspberry pi develop bad blocks which can not be read or written anymore. I thought raid couldn't help here as it would flag the whole device as "bad" once it can not write a block anymore, however recently I learned linux-raid is now capable of handling bad blocks. I've been searching a bit, however didn't find a lot of information, so I would be greateful if somebody could answer the following questions: 1. Is the badblock-code contained in the stable 3.12 kernel? 1. Using a raid1 with badblock management, is it possible for linux-raid to automatially repair errors transparently? So if a block goes bad, does linux-raid silently replace it without user intervention. 2. What happens in case a replaced block fails again? Is this supported? Any pointer to documentation about bad-block handling would be highly appriciated.
