Such a nice proposition. Thanks a lot. The machine is somewhere in texas... I don't know where exactly. Anyway, the housing company is offering KVM and remote console access to the box, so I won't need anyone to go ring at the housing company to check on a server rented by some remote swiss guy.

I couldn't see any hardware errors in the logs and had to wait until now to e2fsck the partition, but everything went fine, only: 18 times "Inode 4145432, i_blocks is 16, should be 8. Fix<y>? yes" and Free blocks count wrong for group #438 (19246, counted=13222). Fix<y>? yes Free blocks count wrong (10346330, counted=10295276). Fix<y>? yes Nothing I should worry to much about... or should I? And thanks to every other people helping me on this matter. --mat -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
