Sir,

Does XFS support Bad blocks handling? I am browsing the web for quite a while
now but I can't find any reference to how XFS behaves under less then optimal
hardware conditions?

What happens when a block on a drive is physically bad, what happens when
a scsicable is badly connected, etc etc?

Are there provisions in XFS for this type of problems (mapping out bad blocks
or perhaps even on-the-fly adjustments) or do we simply have to hope that
the hardware itself is flawless?
