I suspect this is more of a HW problem rathan a SW one.

About two years ago I had a similar EXT3 fs failure case to
develop on a server running Mandrake Linux. My case was
due to the fact that this desktop Linux computer had two
HDs, where one of them (a Quamtum, top unit on the stack) got 
overheated because of the heat emitted by the bottom unit
(a Maxtor). I tried using a recue CD disk to fix the data errors 
and limped along for approximately three months. But I but did not
manage to pin down the problem till the top HD eventually died 
and noticed that it was burning hot!

So, open the box while it is still running now and feel around
to find if something is wrong.
