Bad sectors aren't necessarily detected and recorded on the fly, though. I always forget if the get stored (and remapped) during the 1st extensive self-test after a full disk write or if it's the other way round (last time I had to cope with one was about 10y ago) but in your case a full rewrite may not be required as long as the disk doesn't spin down after the last error and the self test. Good luck, R. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
