Subject: Defective sectors on SCSI disk
Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1993 10:19:28 GMT

Hello, all!

I have a problem with fsck:
On my SCSI disk I have three Linux partitions
(type minix). All where created using mkfs -c.
But now that I checked some files, I found
that some (quite big) files where unreadable
(SCSI error ...).
These errors are reproduceable. I want to know
how I can map the bad blocks of these files
to a file --------- .badblocks, as mkfs did it.
(If the files wheren't several MB, I would have renamed
them, but loosing several MB for just *some*
buggy sectors is a bad idea :-)

fsck does not seem to handle this, or have I
lost something here ??

(Linux version 99p4)

Thanks,
