But that damage should not be permanent, I suppose. Writing that sector with data should correct it, right?
Agreed, but there are files (like RPMs) that are long lived and rarely if ever written.
Depending on a chance write to the sector may never happen.
Yes, of course.
I was thinking of what Jan said:

it should be repairable, no?
Yes, My method would be to make a full copy of the drive to a usb drive via dd. dd if=/dev/sda of=image_file.dd bs=4k conv=sync,noerror Then restore it via dd. The restore should cause any bad sectors to remap, assuming there are any spare sectors to remap to.
