What file system is this? Have you run fsck with the -c and -f flags? Can
you boot this device with a cd or USB and then check the disk
(systemrescuecd is my current favorite rescue distro)? Running "badblocks
-svv" (those are two v's as in victor, the "w" will perform a destructive
write test) can give you a more thorough test of the disk.
Before doing anything, backup your data.
