This message is a call for help from the Department of Meteorology at
Rutgers University.

We have a 3B2 machine that encountering some disk drive errors, specifically
bad blocks.  The hdlogger shows us that there are particularly two bad
blocks with others shown around it.  We wish to fix the problem but the
documentation does give sufficient information.

The 3B2 machine running UNIX only has one drive.  Documentation in
the system adm. manual only shows how to re-format a second drive in
/etc/fmthard.

If someone is willing to talk with the professor in charge, please send
e-mail to cermak at remus.rutgers.edu with name and phone number to contact.

This system is a critical system in our department, we appreciate any help
send this way!
