Would it be worth using badblocks to perform the destructive (to your 
data - move / backup first) test on the partition you are having trouble 
with ?

Does smartctl show any internal drive problems ?

Does your testing suggest that the writing or reading or both might be 
introducing the errors ?
(ie if you copy a file and read it 100x, does it always fail ? and so forth)

Might temperature associated with continued access for a large file 
contribute ?

Is it only when copy within the one file system ?
