Yea -- normally that means a bad sector(*), and where there's one,
there's bound to be more.  Failed drive eventually.

I would pull this server from rotation and run a full surface sector
scan on it (download an ISO of "Hiran's Boot CD")

Or if its a geom mirror raid-1, test this component.

If it was scsi, I would recommend camcontrol(8) to query the disk for a
list of grown defect sectors.

*. If you've never seen it before and it developed.  Bad
cables/controllers/drives/interference can cause it too, but you would
have seen it from inception.
