how to cope with bad blocks (and off-topic: WD warranty policy)

1998-04-12 Thread Marcus Brinkmann
Hi, I have now some bad blocks on my 2-year-old WD Caviar IDE drive. I'm not overly concerned, because I have a brand new SeaGate, on where I install hamm atm, but I wonder if linux can mark bad blacks as 'used', so that it doesn't write on them anymore. Or how do you cope
