Do the above error messages indicate any serious (potential) problems?
My gut instinct is that the error message you've got is telling you "disk is fubar" If I were you i'd be backing up right about now "just in case" (if you can backup that is) before trying to fix the problem.
The smartctl tool should be able to tell you exactly what the disk thinks the problem is (or indeed if it thinks there is a problem in the first place).
Thanks Adam
