OK.  Update.  I got the new drive in, copied the files over, tested the
new drive A LOT, then did a dd on the old drive and wiped the WHOLE
thing.  I let dd run until it ran out of space and died, which took a
pretty good while.  After dd finished, I ran the Smart test again.  This
is what I get now:

root@fireball / # smartctl -l selftest /dev/sdd

Ignore the second one, I started the test on the old drive and was
meaning to do it on the new drive.  When dd finished, I wanted to start
a fresh test so I killed the second one.  As you can see in the latest
test, no errors. 

So, thoughts?  Did it mark that part as bad and all is well or is this
going to be trouble down the line?  Should I just fill the thing up with
data and test the stuffin out of it to make sure?

Thanks.
