I too have this problem. My English is not very good i hope you will understand....
My old Seagate ST3250820AS (xfs) started to fail, so i ran xfs_repair -L, i could not finish because of I/O errors, so I brought new disk (Seagate-Maxtor STM3250310AS) and run: dd_rescue -v /dev/sde1 /dev/sdd1 After that i managed to rescue all of my data. Than I formated old disk into ext3, and copy all of my data to that disk (just so i have backup). After just one day again same errors, but this time on brand new disk! I thought that problem is in XFS, so i formated New disk into ext3, and copy all data from old disk to new with cp -a. This did not end nicely, because allot of I/O errors. OK, I said, i will clone Old disk to New with dd, so i did that. But if i run fsck.ext3 on old disk it finishes without errors, but on new disk there is allot of errors. Shouldn't cloned disk need to be identical? Motherboard is Abit NF7-S (RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc.
