Thanks. By writing to this list, you've just done so. However, note that the question is becoming moot, since parted's ability to move and resize file systems is being phased out, along with most functionality that requires knowledge of file system internals. I don't know the answer off hand (without studying the code), but a quick grep for /bad.?block/i in the code suggests that there is no FAT-specific support for bad blocks. The only file system types with bad block support in parted appear to be hfs and rdb (amiga). There's a hint that linux_swap.c does, too. _______________________________________________ bug-parted mailing list bug-parted@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
