Got bad sector on HDD in XFS partition, any utility to mark it bad/recover it like seatools does?

[Vijay Gill]

Hi,

Got this bad sector in a seagate 40G hard disk. Is there any tool
under linux to scan the surface of the disk and mark the sectors bad
in file system (or at even lower level like seatools does)?

Running FC5.

In the mean while I am doing a dd on that partition to copy the data
and try to recover it from there.

Thanks
Vijay
