Any useful messages from the kernel log?

That's the theory.  And bad blocks found should be recorded on both sdd2 and
the new device.

That doesn't look good.  Again, complete kernel messages might help.

That would be because the 'Events' number is too old so the 'recovery offset'
is suspect.

If it can read, it will, and will write to the new device.

I don't think 'replaceable' is particularly relevant here.
