Great job!

Just a thought though. I experienced the same problem (bad blocks) on a
disk a while ago (the disk had a headcrash later on so it was probably
the beginning of that which caused the bad blocks). However i found an
ioctl function in the scsi driver that i could use. It's not enabled
normally but i hacked in the requiered ioctl define, inventing a little :-).

It worked very well too. And no! My code didn't destroyed the disk :-) :-)
