Reading the bad144(8) manual: Would it make sense, leaving some
unused space at the end of the disk? Or, asked the other way around:
Am I overwriting bad block information when using the disk up to its
end?

Example: if my disk has 120103200 sectors, an my last partition
         starts at 5769279 and is 114333921 in size 
         (5769279+114333921=120103200): Do I have a problem?

Thanks
Chris
