Hmm.. normally you can find them by watching the dmesg output/messages output.. I had a drive full of them (I hate Western Digital 1.2gig's because of it), and by seeing where they were, I went and reinstalled FreeBSD, but resized the drive around it (luckily I only lost maybe 10mb). At the same time you should think to yourself "Perhaps this drive is going bad, and maybe I shouldn't rely on it for anything" :-) At 03:41 PM 10/22/98 +1000, kyle wrote: >Hi, > >I have some bad sectors on my hard drive and need to find out where they >are. >Is anyone able to inform me to where I am able to get this information >and how I can get it. > >kyle buttress > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange 207-942-0275 http://www.droo.orland.me.us My Latest Kernel: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT (ONEEX) #14: Mon Oct 19 22:36:58 EDT 1998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
