Re: bad sector in gmirror HDD


You can run long self-test in smartmontools (-t long). Then you can get 
failed sector number from the smartmontools (-l selftest) and then you 
can use DD to write zero to the specific sector. Also i am highly 
recommending to setup smartd as daemon and to monitor number of 
relocated sectors. If they will grow again - then it is a good time to 
utilize this disk.
