Hmmmm, you're making me nervous... :-(

I can hardly believe it's a HW problem since the machine in question is a server 
machine that's running 24 hrs./day, and it's been VERY reliable so far. It's 
performing it's service since some years now (ok, that doesn't prevent it from 
dying some day, but...)

Apart from that I haven't seen a SINGLE message from the IDE driver (like 
timeouts or read/write errors.) Shouldn't that be the case if you suspect the 
hard drive? How would I check a swap partition for errors?

2.4.14 with XFS. I'm planning to upgrade to 2.4.17 or 18 soon...
