So, I think the HDD in my main workstation at home just died:

My backup is about a week old, so I'm not too worried.  rsync is throwing a major fit right now trying to pull any files in the last week, though.

(destiny:11:20)# uptime 
 11:21:45 up 256 days, 13:11,  9 users,  load average: 0.08, 0.14, 0.09
(destiny:11:21)# sync
zsh: segmentation fault  sync
(destiny:11:21)# cat /var/log/kern.log
cat: zsh: bus error  cat /var/log/kern.log

Oh well.  I guess I'll have to get a new drive.  Current one is a Western Digital WD1600JSRTL (160GB SATA 3.0Gb/sec).

Update: Uh, looks like I just had to reboot.  Somehow my drive spun down and wouldn't spin back up, so things like ext3 were going wild when all I/O was being rejected.  I think the only reason I could login via SSH was because most things were cached in RAM.
