Close, but that did not seem to work. I tried to reassign the bad 
blocks, but although it added blocks to the grown defects list, I was 
not able to determine if they were the blocks that asked to be 
reassigned and it also did not stop those blocks from having read 
errors. I settled on scsictl /dev/sd2 format and it seems to have worked 
like a charm. I see no read errors when reading the entire disk now.

Thanks,
