It JUST means that some sectors are unreadable which may be a reason that at some some write got wrong because of hardware problem. But this problem may be - and possibly were - powerdown while writing, or power spike. the media itself could be fine. the best action in such case is to force rewrite whole drive with some data. with gmirror it is as easy as first checking second drive for no errors, then forcing remirror.
