It's a HP DL380G7 with 6 140GB disks in a Raid10. Wouldn't the Raid
controller recognize the error and fail the drive?
Although I don't think I've ever had a hard drive fail 'gracefully' For
me they usually go from working fine to preventing the machine from
POSTing with no middle ground.
One one of my home machines, i just had a data drive that's been
installed for years crash the machine, and keeps windows from booting,
but when i plug it into a USB/SATA adapter, it works fine on the same
machine.

I'd be tempted to think a bad sector on the host disk.
Maybe fsck or whatever is equivalent for that file system.

I just tried to copy the VMDK file to another folder on the same
datastore, and it stopped copying at about 25GB out of the 33GB
file. The same time that it stops on my other copy methods. Does
this mean the VMDK file is corrupt? The Virtual server itself seems
to be running fine.
