I recently had a drive go bad - applications started giving me read
errors, then the bios started complaining, then it just became
generally unusable. Interesting that you mention different partitions
having an effect, though. I had some ext3 and some xfs partitions on
this drive, and it seemed like the xfs really exaggerated (or do I
want to say exacerbated) the problem while the ext3 hid/worked around
it as much as possible. Later I ended up wiping and reformatting the
xfs part to ext3 and, while the problem didn't go away, it became a
lot more usable until my replacement arrived.

So I guess I'm still an ext3 fan.
