[CentOS] Re: SCSI bad block table display

     Hugh Cruickshank, you are not mistaken.  SCSI drives do keep bad block
information on the drive.  I've also been using this for YEARS on SGI's under
IRIX.  Under IRIX, the command `fx' is used to partition SCSI drives, exercise
them, format them (which is something one never does to SCSI drives), spare
out bad blocks, list the bad block table, etc., etc..
