The error was:

Apr 18 14:01:45  smartd[2104]: Device: /dev/sdc, 3 Currently unreadable 
(pending) sectors

These are not ECC errors and the definition I have for pending sector 
errors is, "Current count of unstable sectors (waiting for remapping)."

It would be useful to see the Reallocated Sectors Count from the 
smartctl output.

Richard
