[comp.sys.mac] How to find what files are sitting on bad sectors

johnt@seila.UUCP (john grant) (03/27/90)

	Until my new hard drive arrives I have to continue to use a poor
over-stressed 20MB NEC drive as the system/swap volume - it has been running
very hard and warm for a while now and is starting to drop sectors, Disk
Express told me this to my face.

	The question - how do I tell which files are on the affected
sectors ?  If, as I suspect, the driver should be replacing them, then why
are they showing up ?  Given that I can find the files, I am quite prepared
to call them bad files, load new ones and not optimise again.

Useful info: NEC 20MB ST-506 i/f drive, Adaptec non-RLL controller and
SF&I - I know that this suboptimal for a swap drive !
