thanks for the help, Tony.
i finally checked the results of cat'ing to /dev/null,
which found 11 troubled files. having removed them,
am now running smartctl -t on umounted disk.
# tar -cvf - --ignore-failed-read --one-file-system / \
2>/some/other/volume/tarfiles.txt | cat >/dev/null
Good luck.

ah... perhaps this will let me check dir files... will try after
the smartctl test.....
