    Mark,

    I asked on the SUSE list and was informed by Philipp Thomas of Novell
    (cc'ed) that the only mention of make_bad_sector in the hdparm-7.7
    source is in a todo list.

    Sounds like a useful tool, so I was hoping to encourage suse to
    include it with future releases.

    Thanks
    Greg
