Thanks for all your replies. My original question was:

- It seems that the system should be able to exclude bad blocks in a
disk without giving errors. You can check with 'uerf -o full -R' and
see if 'scsi_bbr_done' is called. That was the case but this bad block
relocation routine fails with my damaged disk.
- It is also possible to use 'scu' to scan and repair the disk
manually. It doesn't work either with my disk.
It seems I'll have to replace it...
