The kernel logs during the time in question yes. In particular, any
error messages from the IDE/SCSI disk drive. For example, something
like this:
Nov 12 23:33:57 thebeast kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA
Nov 12 23:33:57 thebeast kernel: ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
Nov 12 23:33:57 thebeast kernel: hda: read_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Nov 12 23:33:57 thebeast kernel: hda: read_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
Nov 12 23:33:57 thebeast kernel: ide0: reset: success
If the kernel oopsed, then taking the oops message and running it
through ksymoops would also be very useful. But the basic question is
whether there are any interesting kernel log messages during the time
when you got the "IO Error". There is almost certainly more detailed
messages either from the disk driver, or possibly from the filesystem
which should have been made available when you got the "IO ERROR"
message.
