    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
It may be a bug with ext4. I am unsure of its maturity to date. I
recommend you boot to a Live Linux CD (Ubuntu if you wish) and fsck the
partitions once you umount them.

I also recommend you download the ultimate boot cd
(http://www.ultimatebootcd.com) and test the drive physically with the
tool provided by the manufacturer of your drive. You can find this out
by running:

sudo lshw -C disk | grep -i product

Mine says:

andy@fileserver:~$ sudo lshw -C disk | grep -i product
       product: CD/DVDW SH-S182D
       product: MAXTOR STM380215
       product: Flash HS-CF
       product: Flash HS-COMBO

So I would use Maxtor's tool, yours may be different.
