I started getting the same problems at the beginning of last summer.
After several week of really being POed when my sources disk lost
the root directory, I came to the realization that the disks were
failing when the room got too warm.  Since you are in NM (I'm
in DE), I assume you are starting to get quite warm dowm there.
