If this is a normal SCSI disk (ie. not SATA), I would use smartctl to
check if this disk has errors.
smartctl -a /dev/sdb
And if you weren't already running smartd, now is a good time to check the
smartd configuration and verify it has all disks configured as well :)
[dag@lxrh002 dag]# cat /etc/smartd.conf
/dev/hda -H -m root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
/dev/hdc -H -m root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and then enable it:
chkconfig smart on
service smart start
This will make sure you won't get any additional sudden surprises.
