This makes perfectly sense, but the HDD obviously isn't good, and perhaps some data were bad on the SSD as well. I'd replace the HDD with something else, perhaps after a badblocks test, and at least with a short SMART test, and rebuild. The errors on the filesystem should be solveable with an fsck. If not, well, I hope you have a good backup… -- Vennlige hilsener / Best regards roy -- Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk (+47) 98013356 roy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://blogg.karlsbakk.net/ GPG Public key: http://karlsbakk.net/roysigurdkarlsbakk.pubkey.txt -- I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt.
