However, it's a bit surprising that the hardware survived the stress test for more than one day and went south just at the moment the fs was completely filled. My first guess was that the problem might be caused by a reported device size which is slightly larger than the actual size. But then ddrescue -i 7440Gi /dev/zero /dev/sda would have resulted in a similar error. This command completed without errors though.
