The errors reported in the log are data phase errors (at least for where I've tried to write), so it *seems* reasonable that I could probably do this without wiping the whole drive and starting over.
Probably not a good idea. I had a drive go bad(on the reiserfs fs table no less). Even after running bad blocks, I still don't trust the drive. I would be very leery of it.
Well, at this point, it doesn't matter. Sadly. I bought a new drive and had started copying files off the bad one, got 67 GB in and the old drive seems to have croaked completely. It sounds like a physical problem now (clicking in rhythm). Definitely not a good sign.
