A hammer.  Seriously.  If the drive is relatively old (it doesn't support
automatic bad-block remapping), then it's probably approaching the end of
serviceable life.  If the drive is newer (and has automatic remapping), then
the situation is probably even worse.  New drives allocate a certain
percentage of space to handle the problem.  If you're starting to see error,
then the spare space has already been used up, and the drive is probably
dying rapidly.
