Just thought I should point out that you can get errors like this if
your disk drive *cable* is faulty or has wiggled loose.
Yes, I know these defects, but this is an IBM Laptop which doesn't has
a cable to connect the HDD to the mainboard. I just checked it as I
replaced the disk. ;-)
So the system is up and running again. Everything went really smooth:
I booted FreeBSIE, dumped all filesystem to a NFS share, replaced the
disk, formatted the new disk, and restored everything. Rebooted the
machine, and here we are. :-)
Thanks everybody for your advice and information.
BTW: If I understand smartmontools correctly the disks firmware
counted 67 r/w errors.
