I've recently run into my first disk errors on my cube's scsi disk and am
looking for ways to map them to a bad block area on the drive and out of
the file system.  I've looked at disk(8) but this does not seem to offer a
means to do what I wish unless the verify option would work--since this is
my only disk, I'd rather not learn about this by experimentation. 

Any other utilities out there to help me out here?  NeXT's sysadmin manual
and the various NeXT answers that I have do not seem to point out anything.
