debian > debian >What could have caused this I/O error anyway? almost anything, if the system crashed, or had some bad physical sectors on it ..or a program crashed while it was writing to disk may of curropted some stuff..hard to tell. you can always avoid a reboot and you can always (i believe) unmount filesystems when at runlevel 1 (single user) that is if you care to preserve your uptime, it also eliminates the need for a boot disk for this kind of operation. only the BARE minimum runs at runlevel 1 ..ive had no trouble unmounting filesystems on any of my systems there.
