This is prety bad.
Hard disks have some space allocated by the manufacturer to remap the bad sectors that develop during its lifetime. This is normal, don't worry. The problem is when that space fills up completely, and that has happened to your's, I think. It means end of life for the HD.
smartctl --health /dev/sda smartctl -a /dev/sda
Backup your data, then run the smartctl short and long tests.

Any action should really only be undertaken if the fault can be verified using an alternative cabling setup. Cabling or communication issues could create similar reports, all cables can fail over time. Further actions should be taken according to result, it should be noted evidence of consistent failures on one cabling and communication type indicates something more complex is going on. Bad sectors do and will occur over time, this is to be expected. It is a serious issue if and only if the number of sectors affected are continuing to rise relatively rapidly, or the sector numbers affected is inconsistent; an alert condition if not. A file level backup (e.g rsync) is essential in all cases. Then a rebuild format of partitions taking in account known bad sectors may still give a usable drive in the latter case, a new drive is the only solution the first. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
