        I've got troubles with sectors I've marked "bad" when I formated
my hard disk at a low-level. It seems that linux tries to read/write on them,
even if it recognizes them as bad sectors (error 0x80). I think someone has
remarked the problem in this newsgroup a few days ago, but I didn't see any
response.

        Is there any way to have linux run correctly on Bad Sectors? Could it
be possible for example to create files named .bad-sectorXXX which would be
exactly located on thoses sectors?

        Thanks.
