Subject: Re: SATA hdd refuses to reallocate a sector?
Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2013 15:47:16 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130629184716.GA9330@khazad-dum.debian.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <201306240914.29502.linux@rainbow-software.org>

You know, either the "long" or the "offline" SMART test routines do exactly
that on any spinning rust device with a firmware that is not utterly broken.

The HDD's firmware will rewrite, and even reallocate any "weak" sectors
found by the surface scan.
