Hi, Could I please be CC'd replies.
To keep it short and sweet, I have a 45Gb IBM drive that is slowly dying by getting more bad sectors. I have already returned my first one to get the current disk, so would like to use the current one for a while before returning it for another disk that will prolly just start dying again.
I am using reiserfs at the moment, which doesn't really like to work on a dying drive. for example, doing a make fails to work even though it is *creating* files on the disk, it fails to do so because it hits new bad sectors and doesn't seem to remap them.
I am wondering what advise on filesystem choice the list as and any other options I can use to get the kernel to remap bad blocks.
Thanks.
