SubjectDying disk and filesystem choice.
From
Date

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.
