[Sunhelp] format - defect list write

[Fuerst, Robert C. (Chris)]

Well I have done that before on an OLD (like 40 MHz) PC with Seagate's
software on a 40 meg HD.
It was part of the formatting tools on a 5"  floppy (remember those?)
I just thought that you could do the same on Solaris.
So if a disk gets a bad sector you basically have to trash it?
Maybe there is another bit of software someone knows about?

Thanks,
1st

	Not that this will help you much, but I recently tried to repair
some
	defects on a disk using 'format'.  I gave up, plugged the drive into
my
	AHA-3940UW, and used the SCSI bios on my PeeCee to find/mark bad
those
	sectors.  Solaris/sun support for that sucks, it seems.  Amazing
from a
	machine with onboard SCSI.
