I had a problem with one USB drive where suddenly I was getting a I/O error when trying to delete or do anything with a certain file. I ended up formatting it but the problem kept recurring so I just assumed that the drive was dying. I've just had the same thing happen to a second drive now so I'm suspicious.
Initially both drives had ntfs. I suspected perhaps it is just a bug in that so I am now trying with ext4 but I am still having problems. I tried to copy some files from one USB drive to another and the whole system froze and had to be forced off (no tty even). I am seeing this in the logs:

It is hadn't happened with a second drive I wouldn't even be questioning this but assuming this is not just a dying drive and it is not a bug in ntfs, can it be something else? I'm starting to wonder if there is something in my kernel that might be causing this?
