Perhaps try a few FSCKs on the file system and see if that helps. If you have a defect on the disk you can do as you suggest and tag the errors. Disk space is so cheap, if you have defects on the disk, you might consider getting a new disk and replacing the bad one. I don't tolerate any errors on disks because losing a disk ruins my day.

I'm not fully understanding if you have a file system error or a disk flaw. It sounds like you believe the disk has a flaw. Well, if you do, then you may be safer in replacing it. Others may have a better suggestion. I always replace disks with surface flaws..... My Zero Tolerance for Disk Errors Policy Smilie

On the other hand, if the error is in the file system, you can repair this. So, the key is finding out (for sure) if you have a disk flaw or a file system error.

mkqdisk

mkqdisk(8)						      Quorum Disk Management							mkqdisk(8)

NAME

       mkqdisk - Cluster Quorum Disk Utility

WARNING

       Use of this command can cause the cluster to malfunction.

SYNOPSIS

       mkqdisk [-?|-h] | [-L] | [-f label] [-c device  -l label] [-d [-d ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       The mkqdisk command is used to create a new quorum disk or display existing quorum disks accessible from a given cluster node.

OPTIONS

       -c device -l label
	      Initialize  a new cluster quorum disk.  This will destroy all data on the given device.  If a cluster is currently using that device
	      as a quorum disk, the entire cluster will malfunction.  Do not run this on an active cluster  when  qdiskd  is  running.	 Only  one
	      device  on  the  SAN should ever have the given label; using multiple different devices is currently not supported (it is expected a
	      RAID array is used for quorum disk redundancy).  The label can be any textual string up to 127 characters - and is therefore  enough
	      space to hold a UUID created with uuidgen(1).

       -f label
	      Find the cluster quorum disk with the given label and display information about it.

       -L     Display information on all accessible cluster quorum disks.

       -d     Increase debugging level.  Specify multiple times for more information.  Currently, specifying more than twice has no effect.
