I’m voting with everyone else. It sounds like a physical hardware problem.

File io error doesn’t happen because the file is in use, or because it’s corrupt, or locked, or whatever. It’s because the media couldn’t read the block. Hardware failure.

You can check /var/log/messages and likely you’ll see a bunch of scary looking messages.
