 Gday.

  I've got two old micropolis 330mb scsi drives which i interleave
  with the ccd device driver (freebsd 2.1.5) and use for my web
  spool, news spool, and scratch pad.

  They had been working just fine but now have developed some bad
  blocks that cause "/kernel MEDIUM ERROR" 's (Unrecovered read
  errors)

  I've newfs'd and fsck'd the drives, and it keeps telling me
  that there are bad blocks, but doesn't seem to mark them bad...
  (i newfs'd the ccd device)

  Is there some way i can mark the bad blocks bad and continue
  with life?  

  Ta.

 Regards,
   Peter
