correct, AFAIK

[9fans] fs problem: solved!!!

[Axel Belinfante]

For those interested:
I finally succeeded to solve the problem.

I tried the "when all else fails, check the hardware" approach.
Turned out that the read/write errors I got on my cache/config
disk were caused by a scsi termination problem.

As a side effect, turned out that I have two more scsi disks
(in an external box)  than I thought. These may come in handy
to copy nemo's set-up of automatically backing up the worm --
as soon as I have these disks working together with the internal disk.
(currently the scsi host adapter card (asus pci-875) doesn't
 want to see the internal and external disks at the same time,
 probably due to addressing or termination problems, but this
 is for after the weekend).

Wasted a lot of time, learned a lot, and now it's (almost)
time for weekend (after cleaning up the hardware).

Axel. (who is _very_ happy to have his fs back!!)
