Hi, I'm writing because I have a RAID1 setup with 2 ATA disks. The 2nd disk has a few bad sectors, and it was kicked out of the array. My question is: is it posible to use a disk/partition with bad sectors with Linux Software RAID? Is there a way to mark those sectors as bad, re-partition the drive, add the partition into the RAID and make Linux Raid detect and not use those bad sectors? My other solution si to low-level format the drive and try to use it again. Many thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. <oliver at samera.com.py>
