 I have a 21 Mbyte Seagate Disk with some bad Blocks in the middle of the
Disk. With fdisk from Minix a make two partition, first from Cylinder
0 two 600, and the secound from Cylinder 601 to 614.

During the run of readall -b /dev/hd1 > bad.1 I got message on the screen:

unrecoverable disk error on device 3/1, block 10794
                          .
                          .
                                              10802

After the run of the shell script bad.1 I got no Files with the
name .Bad_2.
When I run fdisk I get two bad blocks in the inode table..
and to my surprise I get the message device not mounted, when I run
/etc/umount /dev/hd1

In the manual I read, that I should repartition the disk with different
sizes, until I get no bad blocks in the i-node .

Now my question. How can I do this?, why is the disk not mounted after
the run of the shell script ?, and why are there no files with the
names .Bad__ ?

Thanks for your help.
