[smartmontools-support] ATLAS10K4 does not want to reallocate sectors

[<gr...@so...>]

I have a few drives that developed a few bad blocks and health status is
now LOGICAL UNIT FAILURE PREDICTION THRESHOLD EXCEEDED [asc=5d, ascq=2]. 
There is no useful data on the disk, but I would like to use it again.  I
tried overwriting the disk with zeros using dd bs=1M, which always worked
for me for ATA disks, but this time it did not work.  I upgraded the
firmware on one of them and tried again, but that did not help either. 
How do I force the drive to reallocate the bad block?
