Re: [CentOS] howto mark bad block with fsck?

Hi Paul,

Toss the drive ... on modern drives they use bad sector relocation to map bad sectors to hidden sectors. Once you start seeing bad sectors at the OS level the drive has run out of sectors to relocate to and is probably on it's way down the tubes.

Yes, I'm on the way to do that.. but I need to make sure it up at least for the weeks so I could have a time to rebuild the new one and restore the current backup.. currently, after a couple of hour or sometimes a day, the hdd was remount read-only automagicaly and the only solutions I do is reboot the server so it was properly mount read-write.. this will last for hours or day only, then I need to reboot again..

Thanks in advances, Regards, ijez
