[Bug 613880] Re: Constant hard drive kernel errors

In many cases like this you have a dying hard-disk.  You can check on
that by installing smartmontools and then checking the SMART data.

smartctl -a /dev/sda  (repeat for all your disks)

You can also run a short smart test on the disk:

smartctl -t short /dev/sda

Passing SMART data is not a guarantee that you don't have an issue with
your disks, but it's worth a try.
