No, there doesn't seem to be. To remap bad blocks, I see two options:
- either set the drive up so it will do automatic replacements
(mode select, by hand through /dev/sgx, or maybe scsiinfo)
- or use a program that does scans/replace, e.g. Adaptec boot BIOS
utility, or maybe a Linux program I do not know of.
NB: on other UNIX system I did use in the past, you could do something
like
replace < /var/log/messages
and it would analyze the logs and replace the failed blocks
automatically.
