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