Although fsck indicates a lot of problems, I think it is not the disk which is
malfunctioning. I have run the Maxtor diagnostics over it and that gave 'a
certified functioning device', so no bad sectors or anything.
But I ran memtest86 afterwards and discovered that two addresses are broken,
so that might be the problem. I am going to get it out today and see if
everything will work then.
