In the old days, bad blocks were a matter for the file system to find
out about and avoid, by simply putting files elsewhere.

Nowadays the hardware replaces individual bad blocks without bothering
the file system.

This seems to say we now have two independent levels of bad block
checking.

When the low-level one fails, the other takes over. I't expect the
file system to be unlikely to see bad blocks until the drive is hosed.
