   You have to specify a list of them to be excluded from file allocations   
   when you initialize a filesystem on the disk. Note the -c option in mke2fs   
   , which tells it to do a scan to   
   find these for itself. Or the -l option to get a list of them from a   
   separate file.   
      
   Frankly, I wouldn’t like to touch a disk with bad blocks on it. Once they   
   start happening, they’re only likely to get worse.
