This could be due to a number of things. The disk might be going bad, for example. Try "dmesg" to look at the kernel logs ("dmesg|less" is easier to parse), to see if there are errors indicating what sort of IO failure is going on. This does look more like an underlying storage problem than a filesystem problem.
