It looks like the problem is in that controller card and its driver. Was this

No, it was the kernel's AACRAID driver (drivers/scsi/aacraid/*). And I've
consulted that with Mark Salyzyn who told me that it is the problem of the
upper layers which are only zero fault tollerant and that driver con do
nothing about it.
That's a strange statement, maybe we could get some clarification on
it? From the dmesg lines you posted before, it appeared that the
hardware was failing the request with a bad disk sense code. As I said
before, normally Linux has no problem reading the good parts of a
partially bad disk, so I wonder exactly what Mark means by "upper layers
which are only zero fault tollerant"?
