I had some recurring I/O ERROR messages during boot-up, when mounting my /usr file system (This is under ISC 2.2). After running fsck it reports BAD BLOCK = <block number> After running fsck the file system could be mounted without a problem. After this hapens a couple of times, I decided to add this bad block number to the bad block list through sysadm. Questions: 1. Where is this bad block list kept and how does the OS uses it? 2. I this related to the defect list in /etc/partition?
