From the logical point of view those lost 8k would create bad data -
i.e. a filesystem problem OR simply corrupted data. That depends on
which blocks exactly are bad. If you were using lvm it could even be
worse, like broken metadata.
FWIW, xfs_repair has spit out over 100k lines on stderr, but when I
mounted before the repair (this is suggested if you need to replay the
log), everything seemed intact. So I'm not yet sure what to make of
things; perhaps it'll be fine, or perhaps I need to start over.
(Alternatively, perhaps the next rsnapshot run will expose problems.)

But, I reviewed the OEM documentation for the 7K3000 family, and they
clearly document support for the SCT ERC commands (para 9.18.1.2).
If I'm reading the docs right, then the 5K3000 also supports them (if
you're really cheap and can tolerate the slower speeds). At this point,
if we're waiting till April for real ''enterprise'' drives, I can't see
anything too bad about getting one or two of these and testing them out
in my environment--the EARS drives are bad enough with my configuration
that it's hard to imagine being any worse. (To be fair, I have to blame
the 3ware 9550 controller a bit too; I have EARS drives on other 3ware
controllers without all these issues.)

Sounds promising. If you're really lucky, the blocks were freed by the
fs and nothing has gone...
