(Re: jh1 (bridgeboard harddisk problems)) Message-ID: <3313@crash.cts.com> Date: 15 Aug 88 08:56:26 GMT Sender: news@crash.cts.com Organization: People-Net [pnet01], El Cajon CA Lines: 20 For floppies I'd like to see the system mark entire tracks as bad when any block on the track is bad (which would be better than nothing, and easily doable). I'd also like to see a "secure" disk mode, for especialy important disks, which would allow the root directory to be re-located, or perhaps even kept in duplicate. SOMETIMES I REALLY NEED TO KNOW THAT THE ARCHIVES ARE SAFE! Thanks, Wade.
