Is this a usb-attached hard disk? The adherence to Standards
with many of them is, shall we say, lacking.
You should investigate the device error counts, too.
Have you been able to determine if you get segfaults from
other applications (or a panic from the kernel) with this
device attached?
Do you have another device you could attach and use instead?
