Have you exhaustively tested your drives as well?

The smartctl -t long test is a good one to start with.  If you fail it
sometimes re-writing the sector(s) in the area of the failure allow
the drive to resolve the problem by using one of the space sectors
(the drive hides a handful of from normal use and keeps them in
reserve for just such occasions).  However I recently had a drive I
had to pull out and use the manufacturer's utility to 'zero'
(erase/wipe) everything; it then finally passed a similar test within
the drive utility.  I expect it to resync without further issue.
