1) Normally I know what I mean, and I'm trying to express myself
(though English isn't my native language as it isn't yours) ...
So mind your wording, thanks.
2) Physically (intermittently) non-functional is a correct term for
what happened. The hd (and it was a ide-drive and it's perfectly
possible that this is of some importance for the failure) hung like a
record player would hang if it hangs. No chance to enter with fsck
as the hd would enter in the same ill-tempered-record-player-state.
I was going to buy a new hd, but since it was Sunday I reformatted
the partition and gave reiser a shot. This was 2 months ago.
So, as you noted this is not a kind of fs-flamewar, because I want a
fs's existence to pass unnoticed...
And I'm not calling you silly, because I don't like to call people
silly even if they meet this condition, but I don't know you...
Regards,
MH
