Most likely the frontview dismount was undone by the drive disconnecting and reconnecting so it got re-hotplugged which is sort of consistent with the problem.
If you have ssh access you can reformat them with mkfs.ext4 without having to do an upgrade. If you are backing up /c to your USB this will at least reduce the backup activity because it will get around a problem where some files backup every night due to timestamp granularity on ext3. If there is something corrupt in that filesystem I suppose it might help but that is probably a longshot. Need to understand why the device disconnects or it will keep happening.
Is it possible you've recently enabled a feature to idle the USB drives when they are not used? Maybe this is a wakeup issue with the enclosure or disk.
