1) Is there in SCO UNIX an utility that performs total check of a SCSI
harddisk?
2) Suppose the hard disk is physically good. How to reformat (or whatever) it
to use in future?
Thanks in advance,

reformatting a scsi disk will totally erase a disk!, and the best way
to perform a low level format is to use scsi utilities (either in the
controller bios or on disks with the controller) .
As for SCSI error messages, are you sure its not a loose cable, long
or damaged cable, bus configuration error or incorrect termination.
badtrk will also give you options for out mapping bad sectors on the
disk - saves reformatting!.
1. How to lock the bad sectors on the hard disk without reformatting the hard disk !!??
Hello, dear Internet friends !!
Anyone can tell me if there is any utility to lock the bad sectors for
the ext2fs under Linux without re-initiating the harddisk.
I used "fsck /dev/hdaX" to fix the filesystem but it could not lock
the physical bad-sectors. When I wrote something to hit the bad
sector, my Linux Panic could get Kernel Panic due to accessing
some bad sectors. "fsck" or "exfsck" cannot fix them and it can
only recover the damaged file system only (NOT the bad sectors).
Can you tell me how to do ?
Thanks for your creat help !!!
Best Regards. Louie
