Sorry to snip your entire message, but it's a bit long to repeat.  I don't
know what everybody else feels, but it looks a lot like there are either
bad sectors on your disk or maybe you've accidentally made a file system
that extends beyond the partition end.
As a start, I'd unload the partition to tape or another disk, then remake
the file system with a -c option to scan and mark bad blocks, and see if
that works around the problem.  See what other people think first, though:
this is a bit drastic and not guaranteed to help.
