Ok, I saw more sectors on a drive yesterday, so this morning, no one was running on it, and I took it out of use, then bounced it onto a DVD, and ran fsck -c (check for bad blocks). It finished. I bounce the server.
And SMARTD reports the sectors as "currently unreadable (pending) sectors", and "offline uncorrectable sectors".
I recommend to replace that disc ASAP. When they start having to reallocate more sectors, they are in a pending complete failure state.
Actually, the f/s is back in read-only mode, so I'm going to do that. It still bothers me that after an fsck -c, and a reboot, that SMARTD still saw the same number of sectors as bad.
