Having just live through this issue, I recommend you run
the extended (long) SMART test on all your drives and check
the reports. The relevant package to install is smartmontools.
It's worth investing a little time in setting up the package.
I ended up with this incantation in /etc/smartd.conf :
/dev/hda -T normal -p -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -m root at localhost
To execute the extended tests (doesn't mess with your data):
# smartctl --test=long /dev/hda
To view the test results about 80 minutes later:
# smartctl --log=selftest /dev/hda
and so on.
