[ale] I/O Errors?

[Calvin Harrigan]

These seem to be hardware related errors.  Either you controller or disk 
drive is going south.  I usually get these when I can't read bad sectors on 
the disk, usually the drive dies soon after except on ibms, the drives 
usually last a little longer maybe a month.  But I would definately invest 
some time in doing a complete backup and preparing for tranfer to a new disk.
