This one looks much more like a conventional bad spot. - Other than previously, "driverbyte" is not 0 but 8. This means that the disk firmware indicated SCSI Sense Data (i.e. error codes) [1]: "0x08 | DRIVER_SENSE | had sense information available" - "Sense Key : 0x3" categorizes the problem as error of the medium. "ASC=0x11 ASCQ=0x0" means according to [2]: "UNRECOVERED READ ERROR - This time, the error happens reproducibly at the same block address 0xd87d5a8f = 3632093839. (The first line of your log snippet shows decimal address 3632093759. Is this the end of another group of failed "CDB: opcode=0x28" ?) > Does it suggest bad sectors ? I'd say that this is something different than your previous problem. If the following command reliably reports i/o error and causes messages in the system log, then badblock scan and treatment would be indicated: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1 skip=3632093839 Especially since the volatile errors did not show up any more.
