I have a Linux 0.99pl15h system running with a ESDI hard disk, using a DTC
6282 controller.

The hard disk does have a error on it, and every so often it pops up on the
system console:

HD: read_intr: status = 0x59
HD: read_intr: error = 0x80
harddisk I/O error
dev 0302, sector 180

Ok, i can handle a ESDI hard disk having errors, but how do i add it to the
bad track table? I have tried creating a file called 'badblock', with the
single line '180' in it, and feeding that to e2fsck with the command line

e2fsck -b /tmp/badblock /dev/hda1

Thats runs ok, and reports no errors. But then, up pops the error message!

Thanks.,..
