Every harddisk will be bad one day. fsck MUST be able to mark bad blocks and recover residuary data on the disk. Or freebsd must have another tool for recover data from harddisk with bad blocks. Why under other OS it's a no problem?? (one week ago I recover FreeBSD data under M$ DOS. FreeBSD can't do anything with partition with bad blocks, fsck even can't finish check). Why other OS has tools for test surface HDD ?? I like FreeBSD, but this OS absolutely don't ready for problem with disks, that will come soon or late with every HDD !! (I know about backup, RAID and other. I troubled by problem discovered above). Sorry for my english. -- Vladislav V.
