If this is a server - is it possible your raid card battery died?
It is a server, but a home file server. The raid card has no battery backup, and in fact has been flashed to pure HBA mode. Actual RAID'ing is done at the software level.
The only other thing on the hardware side that comes to mind is actual bad sectors if this is not a raided virtual drive.
The system has eight total drives: two SSDs in raid-1 for the OS, five 3.5 spinning drives in RAID-6, and a single 3.5 drive normally used for mythtv recordings (though mythtv has been stopped for a long time now to try to debug the issue).
From the OS side can you keep the box up long enough to do a yum update?
Yes, I updated everything except packages beginning with "l" ("el" / lowercase 'L') due to that generating a number of conflicts that I haven't have time to resolve.
