This looks like a disk error message ?. What exactly it means.
You have a bad disk block. Disks have reserve blocks to move bad block data into.
If you still have errors on the same disk, the disk could not 'heal' itself. It is time to back up the disks data and then replace the hardware, then restore data to the new disk.
One-off occurrences are not usually an issue.
If a disk throws these errors regularly it is going bad, and needs to be replaced as well.

as you can see your disk has only one Hard Error, not critical but i recommend you to backup the date and plan to replace the disk!
Hi beta17,
Could you tell me how do i back it up and restore to new hard disk.
Your disk c0t1d0 is having Hard error. Better provide the output of the command format.Also shutdown the server and do a dummy replacement.
Hi solarishumble,
here is the format output.
