Hello Charles
=20
I have a doubt about BAD sector management.
=20
Well, we do a scan for bad blocks at boot up, fine! In your last mail , =
we came to know that, once you mark it DEAD we never use it again, but =
if there is a situation where a block becomes BAD at run time, how =
should we counter such a situation?=20
=20
Thanks
Abhishek
