Well, I saw something similar to your problem a while back.  I was adding
a "new" disk to the system -- when I tried to tar/cpio files from the old
disk to the new disk, it would go for a few minutes then sort of sputter
out.  Then the machine would hang solid.

I took the "new" disk back and exchanged it for another, and (that) problem
went away.  

I didn't reply to this sooner, because it doesn't give you any concrete help.
I don't know if this is your problem, and if it is, I don't know how you
can tell which disk is the offendor.  Sorry...
