Last week I was doing a dump and I got this error
DUMP: (this should not happen) bread from /dev/rra1c [block 151984] :
count = 6144, got -1
I am running Ultrix 3.0 and have a MicroVaxII. The disk that is
causing me problems is a Fujitsui Eagle.
Is there anyway I can use badsect or bad144 to get around this problem
without format the disk. I thought that badsect was my best bet but
I could not figure out how block and sector related to each other.
The uerf program does show something but no sector number
---- UNIT INFORMATION ----
UNIT CLASS DSA DISK
UNIT TYPE RA81
CONTROLLER NO. 17.
UNIT NO. 0.
ERROR SYNDROME DISK TRANSFER ERROR
Should I give up and reformat or is there a way to write the bad sector
into a file.
