I/O errors on hard drive.



Title: I/O errors on hard drive.

One of my hard drives is giving I/O errors when updatedb runs.  The errors are
generated when the same files are accessed.  If the drive was reformatted,
could the bad areas on the drive be skipped?  Can I repartition the drive to skip the
bad parts?  Would a journalling file system work around the problem
areas?  Or should I just replace the drive?
