SCSI drives store information about defect blocks.
One list ist the manufacturer list -- every drive has some errors.
the other list ist the "grown defect list".
The drive remaps any new found defective block for an unused spare one
and lists the bad block in the grown list.
To get the list, ask your drive :-)
scsiinfo is a program for Linux (at least, maybe other OS's) to do so.
