Curious, both camcontrol commands show:

	AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enbld):  1

So it would appear that AWRE has been enabled all along.  Here's a
unique list (and count) of the errors since 10 Aug:

   1 (da5:ahc0:0:5:0): READ(06). CDB: 8 10 9a 99 70 
  43 (da5:ahc0:0:5:0): WRITE(06). CDB: a 0 1 f9 a 
   1 (da5:ahc0:0:5:0): WRITE(06). CDB: a 10 1b 39 10 
   1 (da5:ahc0:0:5:0): WRITE(10). CDB: 2a 0 0 21 7d 19 0 0 10 
   1 (da5:ahc0:0:5:0): WRITE(10). CDB: 2a 0 0 21 7d f9 0 0 20 
   1 (da5:ahc0:0:5:0): WRITE(10). CDB: 2a 0 0 21 7e 75 0 0 4 
   1 (da5:ahc0:0:5:0): WRITE(10). CDB: 2a 0 0 2f 87 e9 0 0 10 

Is that meaningful?
