Hello all gurus !

My DU 3.2 kernel is starting to give read error in kern.log as below

0000 tag 0xfffffffa.0000u page 2054
Nov 4 14:39:12 www vmunix: vd 1 blk 2686672 blkCnt 16
Nov 4 14:39:12 www vmunix: read error = 5
Nov 4 14:40:52 www vmunix: advfs I/O error: setId
0x33967081.000346c0.fffffffe.0000 tag 0xfffffffa.0000u page 2054
Nov 4 14:40:53 www vmunix: vd 1 blk 2686672 blkCnt 16
Nov 4 14:40:53 www vmunix: read error = 5
Nov 4 14:46:26 www vmunix: advfs I/O error: setId
0x33967081.000346c0.fffffffe.0000 tag 0xfffffffa.0000u page 2054

I want to mark this block as unusable. My filesystem is advfs. So which
programs I should use to check and mark bad blocks on my filesystem which
is in advfs form.

Thanks lot...
