[colug-432] I/O Error?

[Angelo McComis]

Likely, the error is with the drive. Downloading the ISO again will land
the bits on different sectors, so that's what I would do. It is rare that
I've had a download complete successfully with modern protocols and have it
be corrupt, but for an underlying storage issue.

Especially when dmesg and smartctl are both reporting the same problem and
is being reported from the storage driver as opposed to a specific file I/O
operation failing.

Is this a problem with the iso or the hard disk?  I am asking the veterans
here (as I am interested in learning) as I would have looked at it
different then what's been answered.
