Does anyone have any utilities for properly adding a bad block to a DEC
standard 144 bad block table. Currently when a new bad block is found
it can not be simply added because the order of the entries in the table
determines the location of the replacement sectors and the bad-block table
must be sorted.
One solution would be to have the disk driver check the whole table when
looking for bad blocks. The other would be a utility which reorders the
table correctly.
Comments? I will summarize to the net in a couple of weeks.
