ok, i agree with u. Can I know why reiserfs is handling bag blocks? Rgrds, Kgp
Bad block handling in UNIX file systems is a really, really old feature (dating back to the 70's). I assume that reiserfs, when it was originally written still had some exposure to older drives of that era and assumed is was a useful feature to add.
Personally, I would not put this kind of feature into any new file system being written today ;-)
