I am running Fedora 20 (updated from 19) and have started having

Been there and done that. I was plagued
with this problem for many weeks until I
kicked the drives off of usb.
USB is the poorest type of connection for disk drives.
That's why I use an eSATA PcCard with 2 eSATA-3 ports
and connect the drive to the eSATA ports.
This of course requires that you have an enclosure which
provides eSATA ports.
After I did this, all such problems as you report totally disappeared.
Disappointed to hear that - strange the problems didn't start
until Fedora 20. Running under 19 I never had errors of any kind
with the same disk...it was slow, but that's USB.
