(perhaps I could remove that inode?) No and no. What you need to do is backup the disk, then boot into MS-DOS and run the disk drive manufacturer's software that forces the SCSI disk to update it's bad sector list and remap the bad block. A modern SCSI disk should NEVER show an error because it is always silently remapping bad sectors. All disks lose a sector now and then, that is why they have spare sectors and a bad sector list. You will never see a report of a bad sector until the day comes that the disk has had so many sectors fail that it's used up it's spare sectors. Years ago there were some disks that while they had this capability it was disabled by default - I have no idea why - and when a bad sector did develop the disk would report it until you sent the device a scsi format command, then the remapping would happen. There are some disk programs on the Internet that can do this as well.
