[wplug] crashing servers and filesystem errors.

[John Harrold]

| I would suggest booting with a rescue floppy/CD (tomsbrt or KNOPPIX) and=20
| running fsck + badblocks on the offending partition.

i ran fsck and the disk had tons of errors. since i've never really had a
problem like this, it didn't really make much sense to me. things like
access count is 2 should be 1. 

i ran badblocks on it in read only mode and no errors were found. i'm
afraid the data might be corrupted, so i think i'm going to format the
disks with checks for badblocks and rsync the backup from sunday to it. a
day lost isnt too bad, but it would be nice to figure out why the computer
crashed. 

there wasn't anything in /var/log/messages to indicate something bad
happened.

the good news is that this will allow me to enable quotas and convert the
disks to ext3. i was waiting for regular downtime to do this anyways.
