--- Comment #116 from Michael Orlitzky (michael@...itzky.com) ---
Here are two other data points, just for the record:

  1. Like comment #65, I've only actually seen this corruption on three
physical 
     disks, and all of them were Western Digital Caviar Blacks. There is
another
     disk in my system -- a different model -- that has been lucky so far; but
     this may be pure chance. My /dev/sda has had multiple problems, but
     /dev/sdb only got corrupted once even though they're the same model.

  2. The corruption for me is occurring in files (contained in directories)
that 
     I haven't touched in a long time. They get backed up -- which means that
     they get read -- but few if any have been written recently. In addition,
     all of my mounts are "noatime." Normally I wouldn't expect corruption
     from *reading* files, which is what lead me to start swapping out disks
     and SATA controllers.
