Hdh3 Ext3 Conversion Issues Options

[xamindar]

I converted my hdd3 on my c3100 over to ext3 recently to hopefully be gone with the fat32 problems. But now I have a whole new issue and this one seems random. Sometimes after starting up I will be missing some folders entirely and when I do an ls I get this:

CODE

ls: cannot access /media/disk/Documents: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /media/disk/dict1: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /media/disk/debian-kernel: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /media/disk/found.000: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /media/disk/zbedic: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /media/disk/pdaxqtrom-0.8.2: Input/output error
debian-kernel  Documents  lost+found       roadmap     zbedic
dict1          found.000  nand-backup      temp
dict2          kdepim     pdaxqtrom-0.8.2  Zaurus_fix

The ones that are empty re the ones that give that input/output error. I just have to reboot until it works.
Any ideas what causes this? When I plug the zaurus into my linux machine to try to get to the files I get these same error messages. I tried an fsck but it reports no problem. Is there a mount option it needs or something?


EDIT: fsck on zaurus reports fine but fsck on the disk when plugged in as a usb drive gives this:

CODE

Whiterabbit media # fsck.ext3 /dev/sdc
e2fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)
The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 1569960 blocks
The physical size of the device is 521384 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
Abort<y>?

What is causing all this error?
