This issue happend after a 'emerge -uDN world' after I had not done
any updates for a bit over 60 days.  (I was just too busy)

I already have:
  sys-apps/portage-2.1.9.25

and I don't have smartctl, what pkg is it in?  I'm not sure it will
give valid info though as this is a VPS and everything is XENified.
My root device is /dev/xvda to give you an idea...

But I did run an fsck, a pretty thorough one like fsck.ext3 -c -c -f
or something like that... I also added another option that made it
super verbose, so I don't know if anything was found, just that
*filesystem was modified* by it...

I just did the following emerge, these packages had not been
recompiled by the emerge -e system that crashed.  They all compiled
top shape, but the problem doesn't happen on every package, so it's
hard to tell...

emerge app-shells/bash sys-apps/util-linux sys-fs/e2fsprogs
dev-lang/python sys-apps/portage sys-apps/baselayout sys-fs/udev
sys-apps/busybox

I will redo a simple fsck.ext3 -c -c -f /dev/xvda and see what it says
exactly (if it says anything).  And then i will --sync and -e @system
again...  I'll reply to the list with my results...

Thanks,
  Simon
