Bad block tester?

Is there some bb tester around for linux??? I need to test several my SD card if they have some bad blocks or not. And if there will be, is there a way how to create ext2 filesystem and exclude this blocks??

With mkfs.ext2 you can use -c twice to perform more thorough rw test:
mkfs.ext2 -cc /dev/xxx

As a standalone utility there is one actually called badblocks
