Another issue was I am getting 'could not read block <7-8 digit number>' errors (which would terminate all the operations) when I tried to merge two partitions on this drive - by deleting one and growing the other. I got same error when I deleted the second one and created a new one of size equal to sum of earlier drives. I succeeded when I tried again second time.
To check your ext3 hdd for bad blocks, use 'e2fsck -c (or -cc) /dev/partition'. Do this using a live CD as your partition has to be unmounted for the check.
