Exactly how many errors is a SCSI disk allowed to have?

I have a PE2400 with a PERC2/Si with 4x9GB

My disks show:
AFA0> disk show defects 0
Executing: disk show defects (ID=0)
Number of PRIMARY defects on drive: 1912
Number of GROWN defects on drive: 0

AFA0> disk show defects 1
Executing: disk show defects (ID=1)
Number of PRIMARY defects on drive: 952
Number of GROWN defects on drive: 1

AFA0> disk show defects 2
Executing: disk show defects (ID=2)
Number of PRIMARY defects on drive: 2457
Number of GROWN defects on drive: 0

AFA0> disk show defects 3
Executing: disk show defects (ID=3)
Number of PRIMARY defects on drive: 2794
Number of GROWN defects on drive: 0

The reason I ask is tha tmy O/S (RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0) has recently
hung with the error:

I/O Error Dev 08:05 Sector 529712

I would assume that this error is generated by the harddrive, but shouldn't
the controller catch SCSI errors (and relocate sectors automagically)?

Thanks in advance,
