There's lots of these in your logs -- they indicate failure communicating with the hard drive. This could be failing hard drive, bad cables, bad power supply, bad motherboard, etc.

I suggest making backups if you don't already have some -- do not overwrite old backups, you may need those. Then troubleshoot or replace etc.

Thanks
