I have the following error on one block of one of my disks:

sd2(ahc0:3:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:15c040 asc:aa,0

Presumably the 15c040 is the bad block, but my question is how can
you force the driver to reassign? My understanding was that it was
supposed to do so automagically, but it's been going for several
hours now with the same error.
