disk error...does it need to be replaced? or newfs?

[Walter Tautz <wtautz@math.uwaterloo.ca>]

I'm getting the following:

Feb 24 04:02:45 consort kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,5)): ext2_write_inode: unable to read inode block - inode=258689, block=524360 Feb 24 04:02:45 consort kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,5)):
ext2_write_inode: unable to read inode block - inode=258690, block=524360 Feb 24 04:02:51 consort kernel: hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
Feb 24 04:02:51 consort kernel: hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=6299458, sector=4194880
Feb 24 04:02:51 consort kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:05 (hda), sector
4194880


would it suffice to create a new filesystem?
