My dear fellow, I speak from experience. Just last month a hard disk |
| 6 |
(IDE) of mine died after giving out io errors first on the logical |
| 7 |
volume that hosted my /usr/portage. Then my entire volume group started |
| 8 |
giving the same errors and the next thing I know, the drive is dead! |

Thinking about it though, is it just a mere coincidance that the errors |
| 11 |
started with /usr/portage? |
