Hi, I have experienced the same thing on my 3.4 STABLE system. I looked in the mailing list archives and it seems that these messages could mean the hard drive is dying. My hard drive ( Quantum FireBall KA 9.1GB ) did die shortly after I saw these messages. Since then I have experienced another one of these hard drives dying and yesterday I saw the same messages on another system I have with the same hard drive. I think there must have been a bad batch of FireBalls. My advice is to backup anything you don't want to lose because your hard drive could be on its last legs.
