Yeap.  Uncorrectable media errors during READ do occur from time to time
and if you just write over those sectors, the harddrive will
automatically reallocate those tracks to spare area, so just doing "dd
if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M" and rebuilding FS is likely to fix the
problem.  If that doesn't help, you need to RMA the drive.
