I've had Slackware arm 13.1 running on the box I use to build the eratta
packages, since it was installed after 13.1 was released - I've had no
problems with the ext4 filesystem on it.

The problem could be anywhere -- perhaps take out the disc from the usb
caddy and put it onto a bare IDE interface and try SMART?
The disc or USB caddy could be faulty.
