Well, it is a very big "if" at this point. It is equally possible
that you have an bad block on the drive that causes an IO error, or a
corrupted filesystem block that confuses the filesystem driver, or...
Hopefully a log will get written to give us more info.
If linux were running on the bare metal, I could probably make some
suggestions on how to avoid a timeout appearing in the guest os
(schedulers, sysctl settings, etc); however I know nothing about ESX
server and what is available there for tuning.
You might post the problem to the vmware ESX forum and see what they
have to say. The VMWare forums usually provide top-notch support for
these kind of things...
