There are some options with smartctl you could try to force the drive to swap that bad sector with a spare one. A full disk read could also force that. Eg. Try ' dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/null '. But, I usually order a replacement when Smart tests start throwing errors. I know 3TB is a lot for you to have to backup, but it's also a lot of data to loose... -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
