Hi all,
=20
Is there a way in freebsd to check for bad blocks=2E Linux can do this via=
 a
-c flag to mkfs; but newfs for FreeBSD does not seem to have this
functionality=2E

The issue is that I have a IDE disk that I suspect to be bad )but there
have been no ATA resets or logged errors so far)=2E I either need to do a =
bad
block check while creating a filesystem or some other diagnostic tool that=

can do a low level check on the disk=2E

Thanks,
-ansh
