Hi Soren,

I have a disk with lot of bad sectors.  When working with it on
an AMD64 box running 6-CURRENT, accessing bad areas just freezes
the box completely, without any diagnostics.  The same disk when
plugged into another i386 box running 4-STABLE works properly by
issuing errors from the kernel, and reporting EIO to userland.

Is there something I can do to try to mitigate this issue?


Cheers,
