all, i have an old compputer that has a still servicable 350 mb fujitsu esdi hard drive. this drive came with 6 bad blocks and 6+ years later still has teh same 6 bad blocks. my question is how much space to leave at the ned of the media for bad sector sparing. if i leave none fbsd complains, if i leave too much fbsd complains about not all the media is being used. is this required for the new eide onboard electronics drivers as well ? is thier a formulae to calculate how much 'sparing' space is required. regards and thanks in advance jonathan -- =============================================================================== Jonathan Michaels PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 Australia ===========================================================<jon@caamora.com.au> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
