    mark bad sectors

    i have array of 3 disks, RAID 0, xfs file system, one of the disk is dieing, smartctl is showing errors... the problem is i just left for vacations i can't replace it, and it's pretty important

    but the data doesnt seems to be all corrupted, just specific blocks... so is there a way to mark these sectors?

    after i run xfs_repair, i was able to mount it, but it stopped working after i read the bad sector... maybe is there a way to avoid writing/reading from it, then all the other data would be untouched?

    i just need to get it running, i know i should replace hdd, but i'm sure there is a way to just mark it

    also, i heard that sometimes, when a poweroff occurs, and the sectori is not fully written, it appears as invalid. maybe this happend? because this error started when there was a powerdown

    any ideas how to fix it without loosing most data?

    An earlier forum had this as one of its answers,
    The OP said he was using xfs, and this was suggested.

    I have problems with my hard disk(bad sectors) and I resolved them with software from Fix hdd bad sectors Repair hard disk software.

    No comment was posted as to the outcome of this suggestion.
    Hope this may help.
