The following message appeared on the console while running bru(1) backups:
dks1d4s7: media error: unrecovered data block read error, (data byte 18).
Block #4410(9687).
It seems to me that fx(1M) should be used to fix this bad block. Is there
anyway of figuring out which file is located at "Block #4410(9687)"?
I remember sparing a bad block quite some time ago and there where two options
for adding a bad block (addbb). For performance reasons should the bad block
be spared (replaced with another block elsewhere on the disk) or omitted (not
replaced with another block elsewhere on the disk)?
When adding a bad block (addbb), is it necessary to backup the disk, add the
bad block (using addbb), remake the filesystem (using mkfs), and then restore
the disk? Would a simple alternative be to fsck(1M) the disk?
Thank-you for your time,
