Is there any way to non-destructively diagnose if a certain block on a hard drive is bad? I keep getting these had read errors for certain blocks. Since the block numbers are repeating repeatedly, it makes me suspect that the disk is at fault. Also, where can I read what the `status' ad `error' values tell me?

The motherboard is an HX chipset-based. I'm running 4.2-S. I have been using the harddrive for FreeBSD since Nov 1. When I put it in, I dedicated it all to one slice, and checked for free blocks. Nevertheless, the very first day I started getting these kernel messages. Many thanks, -- Arcady Genkin Don't read everything you believe.
