I doubt formatting will help. These read errors don't care what filesystem's involved, they happen in raw blocks.

It's not a either-or, anyway: Not just a faulty disk or faulty partition. There could be a third problem you haven't thought of. I can't tell, since you haven't answered any of my questions. If it's a drive problem, dumping the data to another will fix it. If it's not a drive problem, dumping it to another disk won't fix it.

Hi,
I didn't understand what you are asking.

I hope this is what you required.

1)It is a external hard disk and I am connecting it as usb to the redhat linux server(it is having ext3 filesystem and shared through NFS to client machines)

2)Not on same blocks, nearby blocks.

If it's happening on nearby blocks, it's probably a disk failure.

Hi,

Changing hard disk will fix the issue.
