This makes me wonder, why this functionality is not part of e2fsck and
fdisk? It seams that e2fsck can do a much better repair job if it
knows that some sector is bad instead of just reading some garbage after
a program simular to mine ran.

I will probably eventually add this functionality to the badblocks
program. It's just matter of finding enough hours in a day....
