After 10 days of up-time, 1 day after the daylight
savings time change, the system stopped up with
disk errors.
Bringing up fsck on a floppy boot three times in
a row made the problem go away.
Does anyone have an idea of what this is?
Hard drives, in my experience, barf a few times and then die.
Can anyone give me a better rule to work with here?
