Any help here? I know ext2/3, fat, fat32, hpfs, ntfs, all have ways to deal with this, but I have yet to find anyone in linux w/ reiserfs.
That's right, reiserfs can not handle badblocks. ext273 can. There is a way to do it manually, but I don't like it (fsck will remove the hack). However, possibly your HD firmware can move badbloks elsewere, transparent to any OS. This is enabled with hdparm, and the log/status can be seen with smartctl. Relocation of bad sectors happens when trying to write to a bad sector (but not on reading). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
