WRITE(6) 2 blocks to 012be8 failed on the second block because of:
03 - unrecoverable media error
10 00 - ID CRC OR ECC ERROR
Any decent OS should have been able to recover from such an error,
and it looks like 2.3.2 did just that. Just in case, I would suggest
calling their customer service and asking them how their OS handles
badspots on a disk.
