Hi,

[Please keep me in the CC]

I've a bad block on a harddisk and want to know the name of the file
which the bad block is a part of (to replace the file from a backup
after writting zeros to the block to remap the block).

At http://www.leidinger.net/FreeBSD/b2i.c I've a quick hack which is
able to find the slice and partition which contains the bad block, but I
don't know what to do now.

The idea I have is:
 - find the dinode which has a relationship to the bad block
 - find the corresponding directory entry
 - print the name

But I don't know enough about the ffs to do this, what FM should I read
to be able to do this (online or basesystem documentation prefered over
dead wood docs)?

My main problem at the moment is: how does the on disk layout look like?
I tried a little bit in b2i.c (state_superblock & state_dinode), but I
think this is wrong.

Bye,
Alexander.
