Hopefully this one won't follow the first one. :-)

Given your follow up you might be right. But your previous data showed zero bad blocks.

There have historically been many problems with this. There are often several process that keep things spinning undesirably.

Ew... That sounds like a hardware problem. (I don't know so take that response with caution. But it has the feeling of a hardware error to me.)

Perhaps just the disk drive. Does the drive support SMART?

  apt-get install smartmontools

  smartctl --all /dev/hda
  smartctl --health /dev/hda

You might need to enable smart on the drive. I hope that turns up something useful.
