Hi folks,
does anyone know an (virtual) block device which can do automatic defect management (if the underlying disks have badblocks) ? My idea goes like this: * one or more devices are assigned to one block device * a bunch of spare blocks are reserved for defect management (so the device looks smaller than the sum of assigned disks) * if an badblock is detected, it's automatically remapped to an spare block In fact, just what drive-internal defect manangement does, but at OS / driver level. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
