For the record. This tool is not just for flash memory despite its description.
Just tested a fresh OpenBSD box' root-and-only partition:
2 sectors of 1/2T "slightly changed".
(Meanwhile the box doesn't react to my commands.)
TL;DR: This (memory-type/SMART agnostic) tool is invaluable for admins.
Linux has it. FreeBSD has it. Even Mac brew has it.
Not to mention Windows which has "the original" tool "h2w test".
For reasons mentioned above we should have it, too.
PS: Any idea whether FFS2 should compensate those few broken sectors similar to
ZFS'
"self healing"? Or is this HDD yet another "works either properly or not at
all" thing?

7.3 is approaching. Would be cool if this little one gets included.
It won't make in time for 7.3 anymore. The port tree was already
locked for the release and re-opened, and we're now happily hacking on
7.3-current. It could make 7.4 however! :-)
P.S.: when pinging on old threads it's often a good idea to re-attach
the diff/tarball so it's easier for folks to rieview/test it without
having to search in the archives.
