The information in man page and help is not sufficient for me to find
an adequate answer to my questions.
There is a SCSI disk in my disposition of 4.29GB I'd like to use, which
has (the only) one bad block (I know the number due to scu verifying,
and this number is stable). My intension is to declare somehow this block
as bad to bypass it in assigning blocks in formatting (I thought it was
possible to do. Am I wrong?). I can see two commands in scu: mbad and
reassign, but now I don't think I understand them correctly since their
explanation is very short.
Can you please explain to me WHAT EXACTLY these commands do [perhaps not
what I'm expecting of them :-( ] and what I should do, if at all possible,
to achieve my goal. And what should I have in the file /sbin/mbad.dat?
Thanks in advance, even for pointing me to some source of comprehensible
information,
Irene
