Re: Profile low lever formatting...who're you gonna call?

I know there is the spare block table issue, so it could be that I ran
out of them and a reformatting could recover some of them.


If that's the problem, can't an application scan the blocks and put
the bad ones into a "file" that is kept locked?  In other words,
can't this problem be handled above the formatting level?

That's not possible because the Profile performs a selftest during startup where each block is checked.
