|
|---|
| 21 | .PP
|
|---|
| 22 | If a device contains bad sectors, it is important to not have them
|
|---|
| 23 | allocated to important files. This program makes it possible to collect
|
|---|
| 24 | up to 7 bad blocks into a dummy file, so they will not be allocated for a
|
|---|
| 25 | \&'real\&' file.
|
|---|
| 26 | When the program starts up, it asks for a list of bad blocks, unless
|
|---|
| 27 | they are provided as arguments.
|
|---|
| 28 | Then it creates a file whose name is of the
|
|---|
| 29 | form \fI.Bad_xxxxx\fR, where \fIxxxxx\fR is a pid.
