Some may remap after recoverable read errors. However, the RAID code
does (I assume - see below) rewrite the data -- which the disk happily
acknowledges -- only to report the very same error next time that spot's
being read. :-(

Not 100%, no -- but recovering the data but otherwise ignoring the error
(other than increment the error counter) would be a level of foolishness
I won't assume of the RAID code's authors.
