You might want to try enabling these.
Of course, if your drive really is on the way out, enabling these
will only postpone the inevitable. I once used a Fujitsu 2624FA that
developed bad sectors. Enabling AWRE and ARRE helped, but more and more
bad sectors appeared. I finally gave up and drop-kicked the drive.
If you're interested, I've got a perl script around somewhere that
reads out the table of remapped sectors from SCSI drives (assuming that
AWRE and ARRE are enabled, of course).
