I could fix the biggest problems by: * starting debugfs in write mode * clearing inode 8 (which I found out later is the journal inode) * fsck-ing and letting everything be fixed * reboot, getting ext2 instead of ext3 (deleted journal, mounting as ext2) * fsck again, fixing may duplicate blocks etc, (uuaaa) * now it is working (at least what I see, surprises will soon hit me) What the hell has happened???
