I decided, after the last discussion of smartd and S.M.A.R.T. disks, to take a look in my /var/log/messages, and I'm seeing fair bit of this:

Google is not particularly informative on this subject - anyone know more than general suggestions about dd, badblocks, etc.? This is my boot and primary system disk (has been for some time), but the error message is essentially meaningless (to me, right now).
You should start thinking of replacing the disk. There is a discussion in the forum:

I am one of the people there who were getting the same error and replaced the disk.
