Normally, unplugging external drives without unmounting them is the
culprit on an external USB device. Also, just powering off the drive
without unmount it if it is an externally powered drive. On internally
mounted drives, usually turning off the system without shutting it down,
loss of a power supply and / or loss of power to a live system.
Sometimes a bad driver can cause problems for certain devices.
I would use an ext3 file system as it has a journal ... and journals can
recover data from the journal.
Well, I reformatted the drive (ext2 first) and did a 'badblock -v' on
it. Looks like half of the disk is damaged, so it's clearly a hardware
failure. The guy at the store told me that with the actual heat it's not
a surprise.
Anyway: thanks to anybody for the detailed advice!
Cheers,
