Yet a new problem, under 2.6.16, when I fill up the disk, smartmontools

What made it error under 2.6.16?

Under 2.6.15.x, I did not see this behavior, is this going bad, or?
That's a disk-level problem. You've got bad sectors.
You can force the disk to replace the bad sectors by doing a disk-level
write:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 bs=4k
and then test the disk with
smartctl -d ata -t long /dev/sda
If sectors continue to die, the disk is toast.
