For me it is much more reproducible. If I run multiple direct writing
dd-s to the disk in question I trigger it rather reliably (~75% or
higher). See the attached script from an earlier email.
Maybe that helps triggering your case more reliabl, too?

It is a Samsung HM321HI in a Samsung Eikee R525 notebook, please also 
see my smartctl -a log, attached earlier.

Interesting, I have a similar symptom on one of my home servers,
which has a *Samsung* SpinPoint F1 and it went away with different
disks. So maybe these disks are either faulty themselves or they
trigger the issue more often?

I also have a LVM on top of LUKS on the disk. So the I/O will also
add some computational overhead for encryption.
