• Description
A read error occurred, which caused a read of an alternate mirror and
a writeback to the failing region. This writeback was successful and
the data was corrected on disk.

No action is required. The problem was corrected automatically. The
administrator may, however, note the failure as a reference because if
the same region fails again or frequently, the error could indicate a
more insidious failure and the disk should be reformatted at the next
reasonable opportunity.
