I may be able to provide more specific information -
I am making this post just as a head's up since it
will take awhile to complete.

I have a Ubuntu-11.04 that I just updated to 'today';
Will rsync those partitions to my external array (under
another distro installed on the machine);
Then back in the Ubuntu installation, upgrade it to 11.10;
Then back in the alternate installation, see if I can spot
what of significance to this problem changed 11.04 --> 11.10

I may not find (or be able to spot) anything at all;
other than my disk drives can do a lot of I/O.
