Question about bad flash blocks - Miguel Toro - 01-06-2014 02:22 PM

Hi,

I checked the for bad flash memory block and I got total of 8 : 0, 1, 180, 181, 268, 521, 549.

I jus wanted to ask if this is something to worry about, or as for hard drives, they are marked and so, not used by the system.

Thanks and regards,

Miguel

Both of my Primes have them, and I think they are fenced off during low level formatting so that they can't be used. I don't think it's a problem.

Thank you Michael. That is good to know.

My prime has none. I think it is the chosen one to start the calculator revolution against the humans... until battery goes flat in exactly 47,2 days of standby.
