Hi all,

If I run `badblocks -wsv /dev/sdd` on Linux (for example), which does a
filesystem-level bad-block scan on a hard disk using a write-read -compare
method, would it trigger the hard disk's own internal bad block
flagging/remapping mechanism? If not, how would I go about triggering the
hard disk's internal hardware bad block flagging mechanism? Would a lengthy
SMART scan do the job? Or does it generally work automatically when a
read/write error is "detected"?
