This will re-write the whole of 'sdb1' with zeros and will allow theses bad sectors to be re-allocated by the disk. If you get the same problems again in the future then I'd suspect the disk, but assuming this is the first time you've seen this problem, I'd leave it for now.

Could you post the temperature of your drives please? We're having a discussion with OVH about appropriate temperatures for our drives and would like to know what other people see in their dedicated servers.

Code:
$ sudo hddtemp /dev/sd?
/dev/sda: ST3750330AS: 51°C
/dev/sdb: ST3750330AS: 47°C
$

I've got this from mdadm:

A Fail event had been detected on md device /dev/md1.

It could be related to component device /dev/sdb1.

Faithfully yours, etc.

P.S. The /proc/mdstat file currently contains the following:

Personalities : [raid1] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [linear] [multipath] [raid10]

Time to put in a ticket, you think?
