Same Problem here, the harddrive (2.5" Samsung HM121HC) running with Kernel 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 (x86_64) produces errors on high load. With one step back kernel the errors are gone. Im already changed the harddrive with a new one, same errors on the newest kernel. dmesg output: hdc: status error:

Bad sectors get reallocated automatically, so you might not find any with testing. You need to see how many have been reallocated. SMART should already be enabled, so maximize your term window and type: smartctl -a /dev/sdb That will show the reallocated sector count, as well as power on hours,
