Subject: bootdisk: the rescue disk should include the sformat utility
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.2.2
Package: bootdisk
Version: 19990714
Severity: wishlist
The rescue disk should include the sformat utility, so that one could low-level
format a SCSI disk with bad sectors. In addition there should be an option
to use the destructive badblock test when formatting a partition. Some people
don't mind the waiting in order to be sure that their root partition has no
weak bits. (See the Novell server installation procedure for comparison)

I refuse. sformat is nothing to play with and it's not used normally. I
even don't have it installed at all, neither on my nor on the most important
Debian servers.
