Hmm ... most of our DN460/600 disk drives, our DN560 MSD-190, and
our DSP80 with two MSD-500's get these errors from time to time.
We have seen no long term problem with this, but if you wanted to
you could backup your disk, shut down the node, run FBS (ie. EX FBS)
to find the bad spots on the disk (this will take a *long* time),
run INVOL and make certain the bad blocks are marked in the
system list, reformat the disk with INVOL, and restore you file
system. You will spend a lot of time doing this, and I'm not certain
it's worth it, but it might make you feel more secure.
