You didn't miss the solution, but maybe you missed the _point_ of the riddle ;-)Hi,When it is finished you can definitely tell where the burn approached the scratch and kind of skipped over it and moved to the next viable area.Interesting. How did it know in advance where the bad sectors are before trying to write to them ? But how did you manage to engage Defect Management ? Did i miss the solution of the formatting riddle ?
It is not that I cannot turn on defect management. It is that I cannot turn on defect management with an arbitrary spare size. For my experiment, the size of the scratch was small enough that the default size of the spare was enough to take care of it.
