La Jolla, CA Lines: 21 [] A couple of weeks ago I posted a message about problems with a bridgeboard and hard drive. The few responses focused on the fact that I was able to use the bridgeboard on a A500 or A1000, and ignored the questions. So I will ask this one again. Will the Fast File System (FFS) handle bad blocks, not those found during formatting, those that occur as the drive gets used (and abused). The present file system gives up and tells you to use diskdoctor, there must be a better solution than that. Any ideas? Thanks. -- _ /| Fundamentally Oral Bill \`o_O' UUCP: {akqua,hplabs!hp-sdd,sdcsvax,nosc}crash!billd ( ) Aachk! Phft! ARPA: crash!billd@nosc.mil U INET: billd@crash.CTS.COM DevWare, Inc.
