As the article cited (and many others) note, the general approach is to use hardware-RAID, and then on top of that to use a logical-volume approach which introduces the notion of "storage pools" instead of physical drives. This gives rise to, among other things, the very curiously-named SAN (Storage Area Network), which is a self-managing hardware device specifically dedicated to storage. A less expensive but also less-sophisticated technology is NAS (Network Attached Storage), which more-directly exposes "only its drives."
"Bad blocks," therefore, are dealt-with by avoidance. Run-of-the-mill disk drives support an internal self-test mechanism known as "SMART," which Linux gives direct access to and which storage devices also exploit. A drive that judges itself "pending failure" is retired and taken off-line by the storage controller ahead of time.
