There are two possibilities:
1) The disk is damaged. From your output that's what I'd think.
Download the Samsung diagnostics for your disk and try them. If the
disk fails those, then you should be able to get a warranty
replacement. Before that, you could try installing the "smartmontools"
port and running "smartctl -a /dev/{your disk}". That will tell you if
the disk itself thinks it is dying.
2) But before you do any of that, try changing the cable that connects
your disk. It may be as simple as that, but your errors are a bit too
specific for me to believe this is the problem. After changing the
cable try your fsck again. But really, this looks like a long shot.
3) Before any of those things, copy your files somewhere else, if you
can. Dying disks often get worse. Not quite sure how you'll manage
that given that you don't seem to be able to mount the disk. Maybe
someone here will have an idea. Something with dd ought to work, if you
have somewhere to dd to.

Re: harddisk problem in the 5.x series
Hi, Thanks for your mail. Yes I tried again with 4.11 and it still works without the error messages. It does not really matter, because it works in 5.4 too.

And of course it makes sense that I'd not need to fsck and mount things if I just "drop" into single-user mode. But I wasn't yet testing a new kernel... I haven't yet made the buildworld target.

Then, you don't have write access and the fsck works. BTW, the whole point of booting into single user mode is to avoid a bad kernel.
