If this machine has been running satifactorily until now, and then lost the plot without any interventions like your adding new hardware or doing a major OS upgrade, then it is probably hardware going marginal. Those UDMA errors are not good. Make sure you have good backups, and keep an eye on the log files to see if the condition persists.
