With all due respect, your sector deserves the shellacking that's coming after the past two years of intolerable behavior.

Not my sector, friend.

Don’t let one bad sector ruin the whole disk

		oh oh oh. My time to shine (? shine seems wrong. Cringe? I don't know). Allow me to present https://www.digiater.nl/openvms/doc/alpha-v8.3/ovms_archived..., The VMS Bad Block Utility. In my first real job I had to port this from 32 bit VAX to 64 bit Alpha, which meant recompiling it, then testing it with: - a SCSI floppy drive (! amazeballs all by itself) - a box of fresh disks - an unfolded paperclip Method: - take fresh disk. - pull back spring-loaded protective cover - make scratch on disk with paperclip - insert disk in still experimental Alpha hardware - check for evidence that the bad block utility had run, remapped some (physically damaged) blocks, and gone back to sleep
