All, I just read that hdparm v7.7 is supposed to include make_bad_sector. (e-mail posted by the hdparm author.) I was curious as to what it did and tried to check it out on my box, but even though I have hdparm v7.7 I don't have make_bad_sector. Is it available for OS 10.3? Anyone know if they are including it in the 11.0 Alpha release?
