Hi,

Got this bad sector in a seagate 40G hard disk. Is there any tool
under linux to scan the surface of the disk and mark the sectors bad
in file system (or at even lower level like seatools does)?

Running Linux Fedora Core 5.

In the mean while I am doing a dd on that partition to copy the data
and try to recover it from there.

Also I have run badblocks to get the number of the block which is bad,
but how do I get it marked now so that the OS does not try to allocate
it for data in future.

Thanks
Vijay
