I have an old PATA drive (IBM-DTLA-307020, 20 GB) that's developing bad
sectors at an alarming rate and is getting replaced.
It's certainly given e2fsck and badblocks a workout. (Complaint: why
doesn't e2fsck pass the *current* bad block list to badblocks -i,
so it doesn't have to produce all those errors again?)
But, anyway, it's not much use for data storage, but might make a great
test case for error handling.
Does anyone want such a thing for development purposes?
