I've been getting these errors lately on one of my machines:

WARNING:  Kernel Errors Present
    I/O error: dev 08:02, sect...:  36Time(s)
   Additional sense indicates Unrecovered read error - auto
reallocat...:  36Time(s)
   Current sd08:02: sense key Medium Error...:  36Time(s)
   EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,2))...:  36Time(s)

I ran fsck on it and it found some inconsistencies and fixed them.  Is
there a way I can scan the drive for bad blocks or something.  I suspect
the drive is failing from a power outage that occurred -- we're still
waiting for UPS on these machines.
