My uneducated opinion is that it's a bad sign, and that you should
think of replacing your hard drive, or at least make regular
backups.. I had such errors a long time ago, and I think that
crashes I had at the time were caused by it. (I think the kernel
doesn't (want to) guarantee stability once the hardware fails at
such a level. can anyone correct me please if I'm wrong?).
eventually (months later, maybe) my HD stopped working and I
replaced it.
BTW, I see similar errors on my cdrom sometimes, but I guess those
are errors of a particular cdrom, and not of the drive, so I don't
worry about them.
Good luck :)
