Exclusive Regions


Exclusive regions are areas on any object visible on the R‑Studio for Linux 's Drives panel that are excluded from disk operations. R‑Studio for Linux never tries to read/write data from/to such area. Exclusive regions are necessary when, for example, there are areas with bad sectors on a hard drive, and it is necessary to avoid any disk operations with such areas to not inflict further damage to such drive and to speed work with it.

Note: R‑Studio for Linux does not create anything real on the disk. Exclusive regions are virtual objects that do not affect actual data on the disk.

1 Right-click an object on the R‑Studio for Linux 's Drives panel and select Create Exclusive Region on the context menu , or
