Could be a file system check. Leave it alone over night and see what happens. I can't see anything wrong with your fstab. If it's not fsck, you may need a serial console.

Thanks
I've added
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 / ext3 errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 1
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 0 2
/dev/sda6 /home ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2
/dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0
to fstab, is it worth minimzing or disabling swap?
I've just bought some decent fast kingston drives, like you say it's not worth the risk using cheap drives.

I've run several devices from usb flash for years and have always followed the advice of Martin Michlmayr to use -noatime. Through the years I've had a few crashes, but they have consistently been on cheap usb devices. My advice is to use noatime and sandisk memory, other measures give little in return.
