In the past, when I had a machine that would start to report a lot of
disk unhappiness, it turned out that the cable had worked itself
loose. Make very sure all your cabling is correct, and tight, and
that your termination is correct on all devices.

SCSI drives are supposed to remap their own bad blocks. However, if
the lossage is between the drive and the controller (as noted above),
this isn't going to happen.
