Wrong block (115860) -- you used the number from my earlier message,
which was based on the bad block being 902292. After noticing that
the error message said the bad block was 9022921 I corrected both
the file number and the block:

Try skip=110025. You can use pg_filedump to examine the block in
an easier-to-read format; since you're running 7.4 you'd need
pg_filedump 3.0.
http://sources.redhat.com/rhdb/utilities.html
Try running this command:
pg_filedump -if -R 110024 110026 /path/111685332.68
That should show the bad block (110025) and the block before and
after it.
