Can e2fsck repair/cope with physical problems with a disk? smartmontools found a number of bad blocks on my hard drive. I don't remember the exact wording. Other disk parameters seemed fine, i.e., the disk as a whole was not in imminent danger of failure.
Can e2fsck, or some other program, permanently cordon-off these bad blocks so that I can continue to use (the rest) of the drive? I would rather lose parts of the current drive than have to get a new one. Richard __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
