If a device contains bad sectors, it is important to not have them
|
|
allocated to important files. This program makes it possible to collect
|
|
up to 7 bad blocks into a dummy file, so they will not be allocated for
|
|
a 'real' file. When the program starts up, it asks for a list of bad
|
|
blocks, unless they are provided as arguments. Then it creates a file
|
|
whose name is of the form .Bad_xxxxx, where xxxxx is a pid.
