It will be possible to write such a tool, but I don't know if one
already exist...
What you want to do (write to bad sectors) should be integral
gmirror/graid3 functionality - when error is detected on read, operation
is repeated on 2nd half of the mirror and when completed, it should
write to the first half. It is not implemented yet, but I'm planning to
do so. This also have a nice additional value. You can configure geli
authentication on top of each mirror half and when silent data
corruption is detected by geli, gmirror will read data from the other
half and rewrite corrupted region with correct data. Almost like ZFS:)
What I can suggest now is to just rebuild the problematic half:
# gmirror rebuild <name> ad6
