I think hard drive failure is a possibility, although it's kind of
funny that the failure should be limited to just that /usr partition!
Or does that happen sometimes? I'll try badblocks and see what I get.
My dear fellow, I speak from experience. Just last month a hard disk
(IDE) of mine died after giving out io errors first on the logical
volume that hosted my /usr/portage. Then my entire volume group started
giving the same errors and the next thing I know, the drive is dead!
Thinking about it though, is it just a mere coincidance that the errors
started with /usr/portage?
