Moreover, badblocks doesn't listen to any existing bad block list, which is
a pain in the ass when your hard disk tends to crash and burn when it hits
the offending sector. (You can get there if the HD's firmware is crappy and
you're foolish enough to do a low-level reformat which ignores the existing
bad block list *on*disk*, i.e. this happens even with disks that aren't
going to fall over and play dead tomorrow anyway.)
