Speaking of which, had you had a chance to run SMART diagnostics with
`smartctl`? On modern drives you can initiate short and long tests while the
system is up and running. Or, you might try something like MaxBlaster or
Seagate Tools or whatever for your drive brand and see what the results of a
non-destructive test are, just to be sure.
