I'm not really sure this always work. the way I use to remap bad block is to make a read check using the SCSI BIOS controller (TEKRAM and probably ADAPTEC allow this at boot time), when errors are encountered, the BIOS asks you whether or not you want to remap the defective block. so, I'm sure that bad blocks are remapped since it asks me to do something.
