Of course, if your drive really is on the way out, enabling these will only postpone the inevitable. I once used a Fujitsu 2624FA that developed bad sectors. Enabling AWRE and ARRE helped, but more and more bad sectors appeared. I finally gave up and drop-kicked the drive. If you're interested, I've got a perl script around somewhere that reads out the table of remapped sectors from SCSI drives (assuming that AWRE and ARRE are enabled, of course). -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
