I would fire up bonnie++, and run that disk for a few hours. This should trigger the io errors if its a serious problem. Keep checking dmesg and save anything about seek errors, aborted journals, etc. Basically anything before it going into ro mode. Send that to your datacenter along with the fact that the fs was fsck'd clean just prior, and they will swap out the disk free of charge. Also, you should be using at least raid1 on this server. this will give you so many reliability and per. benefits, and will save you from reinstalling the OS when a disk goes south, like in this case.
