Well we did a restart this morning, arrgggggggg! Linucks doesn't do a fsck at
each restart. I'll have to wait until the end of the day and umount the drives
and check them.. The drive is a Quantum Fireball 13gb IDE drive. The corrupted
fs is a excellent thought, I'll certainly check it out.
The log shows a very disturbing item, The lines below were just prior to the
'incident' of the directories disappearing.

The files started going bye bye sometime between 2:00 pm and 3:pm, by 3:30
people noticed directories had disappeared. very odd. Has anyone else seen log
entries like these before?
