No, that is an endless loop Dan. The idea is to remount a file system 
with errors as read-only in order to prevent further damage from rw 
operations. From there, you can copy to a new location, like a new 
drive, rescueing the data that does survive. That drive made a mistake 
and that is sad. But limit the losses by putting in a new, bigger drive 
and remake the system to use it in place of the drive that upchucked.
