The concise official recommendation, found in /usr/src/UPDATING, says: <blockquote> 19991203: BAD144 support has been removed. Cope or replace the hardware. </blockquote> From my personal mail archive: <blockquote> On Sat, Sep 02, 2000 at 09:12:31AM -0500, Larry Rosenman wrote: > How do I map out some bad blocks on an IDE drive under current=20 > 4.1-STABLE?

If you do get bad blocks that is a sure sign that the disk is nearing the=20 end of its life. Make a backup of it and get a new disk.
