I was having a similar problem (although much more frequently) until last 
weekend when I discovered the file system I was using for my recordings 
(XFS) was not stable with my hardware. I switched to ext3 and everything 
works great now. See:

Hope it helps.

Interesting.    I am using XFS for the video partition and ext3 for OS and 
database.   This seems in line with the recommendations unless I have missed 
something.
