Hi Slug,

I'm trying to save a failing NTFS hard drive. It manages to mount and
during copying the following error will appear in dmesg:

Buffer I/O error on device sdc3, logical block 786433

I don't mind corrupting some files. Can I instruct badblocks to add
the failings blocks to the bad block register (I'm assuming that's how
badblocks/hard drives work).

Thus whilst copying, I will not  get any block errors.
