Actually, judging by the error, I think that this error is in the layout
of the journal itself instead of a disk error.  If it was a disk error
you would also be getting IDE errors, and badblocks would detect it.
The "bad block at offset" message happens when it is doing a bmap on the
journal, and hasn't even started the read.

I would suggest just removing the journal (tune2fs -O^has_journal <LV>) and
then re-creating it (tune2fs -j <LV>) and the problem should go away.

Cheers, Andreas
