Hi Eric,

Actually, this is my backup file server. Luckily, the partition for backup is 
not damage only the / and /var.

May I know if you still use the same hard disk when you reinstall your OS? This 
hard disk was also run by CentOS.

I'm starting to believe it could be a power interruption as there is a chance 
that one of the tech guy here accidentally touch the power chord of the 
machine when he put the ventilation on the same power extension chord :-(

BTW, I'm not related to Serafica's of Burgundy.
