The drive started complaining before any changes were made, I suppose the cable
could have gone bad (length, termination, power etc should be ok), but...

When does lvm create /dev/sdb1 (I only used /dev/sdb)?

The thing that I find fishy about the hardware problem idea is that (1) vgck did
not see anything wrong before the reboot and (2) I went through the exercise twice 
(outlined earlier) and got the _same_ I/O error upon reboot.

Supporting evidence for (non-drive) hardware issues is of course that now my new
sdb drive appears effected in addition to sdc which reported media failures earlier.

I really appreciate the help, btw,
