If this does not help then I am not sure what else might fix it.
I thought I had already done this but just to make sure, I've done it
again - no effect.
If there is really some kind to self-test going on, it's invisible to
smartctl. A short self-test showed no errors, either.
I'll look out for firmware updates for that disk and will buy a small
SD/MMC/CF-card for testing. Maybe I'll also ask the Grub-guys whether
they have any ideas.
Thanks anyway! At least I know it's not just me who is confused by this
behavior.
From the man page:
smartctl -t long /dev/hdc
Begin an extended self-test of drive /dev/hdc. You can issue
this command on a running system. The
results can be seen in the self-test log visible with the ´-l
selftest´ option after it has completed.
I run that from time to time myself. It takes a while tho.
