I'm not familiar with scsi errors, but if I interpret it correctly, the 
drive tried to relocate the bad sector to somewhere else and failed: 
that's not good, it might mean that the drive has no more spare sectors 
for remapping and is thus at the end of its life.

You should investigate the smart logs (smartctl -a /dev/sdb). If you can 
determine that what I said is the case, then you should replace the drive 
promptly. If in doubt, run the short and long diagnostics. They don't 
catch everything, but if they sey "bad", it is bad.


See? First admin rule: read the logs ;-)
