Bear with me on this.  The last time I did anything like this I ended
up having to boot into recovery mode from an install cd and do this by
hand.  This is not an option in the present circumstance as the unit
is a headless server in a remote location.

If I do this:

echo '-c' > /fsckoptions
touch /forcefsck
shutdown -r now

Will this repair the bad block and bring the system back up? If not
then what other options should I use?

The bad block is located in an LV assigned to a libvirt pool
associated with a single vm.  Can this be checked and corrected
without having to deal with the base system? If so then how?

Regards,
