Apparently someone removed the part in the
installation instructions where it says you should
backup your hard disk before installing Plan 9.
That said, I don't believe that Plan 9 actually wrote
to your hda7. That's a very long way away from the
Plan 9 partition. I think it's more likely that your disk
is going bad.
In Plan 9, cat /dev/sdC0/ctl and see whether the block
numbers given for the offsets of the various partitions
make sense compared against your Linux fdisk output.
