Just a hint on how I have been using Disked so far.

I usually don't bother about the bitmap. After I have recovered some files or
changed anything in the file structure, all I do is set the bitmap-valid flag
in the root block to false, recompute checksum and save root block.

When I use the disk for the next time Amiga's disk validator takes care of
updating the bitmap.

I have used Disked pretty often in the past (before there was Diskdoctor) and
I haven't gotten into any problems with this approach.

Of course, if you want to do anything special just concerning the bitmap, like
blocking of dead sectors, then this doesn't work.
