thanks for the help, Tony. i finally checked the results of cat'ing to /dev/null, which found 11 troubled files. having removed them, am now running smartctl -t on umounted disk.

Good luck.

second try of smartctl -t yielded the same results- i may have removed files from 11 bad blocks- and missed the first.
am now running the tar seq. above (fingers crossed)
