	I have two SCSI drive sin my VS3100, one of which has a whole
	slew of badblocks from ~21MB - ~38MB which would not map out.
	I've partitoned it to avoid that aread and its running fine.

	If you only have a few badblocks you can just newfs it and use
	badsect (check the manpage). Providing the badsectors are not
	in inode data it should work fine.

	That is all assuming you can get the drive to keep spinning :)
