Subject:   Fixing a bad block on a disk
Message-ID:  <iu4cfusu2nkjj6lmu7dt06m2p8sep4i9h2@4ax.com>

A recent power spike left me with an unreadable
block on an IDE drive, which FDISK can't fix, so
I can't mount the partition.

Fortunately it only contained a Squid cache, and
more fortunately I had a spare partition which I
was able to use so the machine is up and running.

However I'd like to use the partition with the bad
block. Is there any way I can map it out at the
disk controller level, or failing that to tell
newfs not to use that block when remaking the
filesystem?
