thanks for the help, Tony.
i finally checked the results of cat'ing to /dev/null,
which found 11 troubled files. having removed them,
am now running smartctl -t on umounted disk.
# tar -cvf - --ignore-failed-read --one-file-system / \
2>/some/other/volume/tarfiles.txt | cat >/dev/null
Good luck.

second try of smartctl -t yielded the same results-
i may have removed files from 11 bad blocks-
and missed the first.
am now running the tar seq. above (fingers crossed)
SMART has no idea whether a sector has been allocated to a file or
not. The test will continue to find the same bad sectors until
writes to those sectors occur, which will allow the drive to remap
them to spare sectors.

Do NOT delete it.
