Why is the option for bad block relocation turned off for these file systems? These being root, boot, dump/swap?

It is a requirement of HPUX that /, /stand, and swap be contiguous. If you relocate a bad block then the LV is no longer contiguous.

For swap it MUST be turn off because by shifting or relocation bad block around can potentially corrupt swap. For root and boot it is optional but during OS installed it does turn it off for you.
