I found these messages on my computer, which is running a very recent RELENG_5. Is this bad? Does it indicate that the disk is failing?

It could be a problem with the disk, the cable, or possibly software.

Try smartctl -a /dev/ad4 as root to find out if the errors were recorded by the drive.

Now is a good time to do a backup, just in case :)
