Friday the homeserver developed a problem in one sector of /dev/hda, a Maxtor disk that's been in there since September 2003. The sector was in the bitmap of a reiser filesystem (via lvm) that did not want to mount for this reason. I started a complete reiserfsck on it as a last resort to get that sector rewritten. After 39 hours the complete filesystem check was done, that sector rewritten (and at that time remapped by the drive). The /scratch volume is available again, but I'll buy a new disk for it anyway, to avoid going through this several times.
