CentOS - Jul 2009 - how to create file system with less bad block??

We have CENTOS 4.X and 5.X on DELL servers.  Recently we found some bad blocks
happen on databases.  the way we create file system is:

     mke2fs -j /dev/sdXX

Does there has any good way can create file system with less bad block or avoid
file system to use bad block?

Thanks.

The bad blocks are hardware failure, you should start thinking about
disks replacement.

Replace the disks, bad blocks indicate the disk is failing, by the
time you see bad blocks on the disk the disk has exhausted it's reserve
of blocks that it can automatically re-map.

There is no reason really not to replace the disks.
