But this hint points me to hdparm and smartctl. My server is monitored by Munin every 5 Minutes. Only files who are that large, to need more than 5 Minutes got hit frequently...

Is it a SAMSUNG HD204UI drive? I found a story about a bug which makes the drive sometimes forget to write a block when it is attached to a SATA adapter in AHCI mode and when the ATA command "IDENTIFY DEVICE" is sent (like in hdparm -I or when using the smartmontools).
