We have an old sun3 Sun shoebox retrofitted with a Maxtor 2190 drive. The Maxtor is an ST506 drive, running as scsi through the Sun Adaptec converter in the shoebox. This drive has run well in the shoebox for years, but recently has developed a few bad blocks. I've tried to use format to put the bad blocks in the defect table and reformat. "add" is happy to take the blocks, and "format" doesn't complain, but the verify still shows the same errors. I've tried many variations of the "add", adding by logical block #, or by cylinder/head/bit. No variation makes any difference, and the verify still fails. Has anyone else seen this? I'm running SunOS 4.1 format.
