I suspect you have a drive getting ready to die on you, which it may do
at any time.

Auto reallocation failure often means that the drive has run out of
spare sectors, a clear indication the drive is dying.
The first thing I would do is order a replacement drive. I would then
fire up gsmartcontrol and run a short self-test on the drive to confirm
the failure to reallocate.
