I have added a spare disk and will store all ISOs there. Otherwise my system is 'touchwood' running smoothly.
Most of the time a bad sector is an indicator of doomsday. Better backup all important stuff. I have a SATA disk whose var partition has developed bad sectors. I have rejigged fstab to point to a new var and things are fine. But I must move all the important stuff to avoid grief.
The data was backed up up the last time itself, when Arun suspected the disk. I think I should move the email store to the new drive.
Is there any software that will do a surface scan and mark bad sectors as unusable?
