Never used badblocks before, but I ran into a problem last week where I had bad blocks on a drive on one of my sun machines, but a disk surface check run several times turned up nothing. When accessing certain files I would get an I/O error, and a SCSI error that said trouble reading block xxxxxxxxxx. I had to replace the drive to fix the problem.
