Most likely your disk is dying. To be sure, if you have /var/log/messages, do
a grep _DMA /var/log/messages and check for READ_DMA and WRITE_DMA errors. If
you have a lot of those, replace cable to rule out a faulty cable else
nothing else will help then replacing the disk.
Without a /var/log/messages (ie. da1s1e = /var), your best bet are diagnostic
tools from your disk vendor.

and never get to the software part.
