Input/Output sounds like I/O error known in *nix as EIO. This error is invariably a hardware error. Check your logs for failing disks.
The message file contains the following error: May 4 07:58:30 localhost kernel: ata1: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } May 4 07:58:30 localhost kernel: ata1: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError } May 4 07:58:34 localhost kernel: ata1: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } May 4 07:58:34 localhost kernel: ata1: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError } May 4 07:58:38 localhost kernel: ata1: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } May 4 07:58:38 localhost kernel: ata1: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError } May 4 07:58:38 localhost kernel: scsi0: ERROR on channel 0, id 0, lun 0, CDB: Read (10) 00 00 bf 95 e5 00 00 08 00 May 4 07:58:38 localhost kernel: Current sd08:01: sense key Medium Error May 4 07:58:38 localhost kernel: Additional sense indicates Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed May 4 07:58:38 localhost kernel: I/O error: dev 08:01, sector 12346904 Sounds like a disc error!!!
