Got a RAID 1 set of identical Maxtor 6Y080M0 80GB S-ATA drives. One seems 
to have developed a bad sector or two:

wd2a: error reading fsbn 845648 of 845648-845663 (wd2 bn 847664; cn 840 tn 
14 sn 62)wd2: (uncorrectable data error)

raid0: IO Error.  Marking /dev/wd2a as failed.
raid0: node (Rmir) returned fail, rolling backward
raid0: DAG failure: r addr 0xce710 (845584) nblk 0x10 (16) buf 0xc4b02000

Is there any way to mark bad sectors in the underlying components so that 
RAIDframe will ignore them? Is doing such a thing a sensible move? 
bad144/badsect don't seem appropriate.

BTW, this is with 1.6.2
