should not be a thing of harm. As we had these messages (although for single
disks) we got these as information that the disk controler or the on disk
logic had discovered a malfunctioning block in the disk surface and is going
to set pointers to not deal with this block anymore in the future. During
disk foramtiing there are bad block nearly every time, but the
manufacturer-badblock-list holds the "personality of your individual disk".
In addition to that, there is an amount of blocks reserved to do this "bad
block replacement" on the fly, thus extending the bad block list. If it is
exhausted data loss may occur. Please do observe BBRs; if this number is
increasing, replace the disk. If you use AdvFS consider a rmvol/addvol.
