looking for bad sectors

Hi,

        I'm trying to setup an ADVFS(4.0b) volume on a disk that we know has bad
sectors, the only problem is that we don't know were they are. Will the
usual domain(mkfdmn) and file set(mkfset) look for bad blocks/sectors and
mark them as unusable? or is there some other utility that can do this?

        We also have another ADVFS volume that has some bad sectors. What utility
do I need to fix this now that the volume is up and running? If I have the
utility with 4.0b what is it and how do you use it?

Thanks for your time.
