More information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. > `Seek_Error_Rate'. Additionally, the faulty drive has positive > `Reported_incorrect=119',`Current_Pending_Sector=4294967295' and > `Offline_Uncorrectable=4294967295'. It looks like your drive is trying to remap a bad block, but can't seem to do so. You may need to do a cold boot. Or force a read/write from that sector to tell the drive to try to remap it again. dd if=/dev/adX of=/dev/null skip=4294967295 count=1 (Read from the block#) Looks like your HDD with the positive Current_Pending_Sector and Offline_Uncorrectable with that is going bad. Once it manages to remap the block, your Reallocated_Sector_Ct will increase/decrease (depends on the counter), once it reaches the THRESH counter, its out of blocks to map. I would recommend you change HDD as soon as possible.
