I did a mount -a, then a fsck -y, then manually changed the
passwords back to what they were and the machine seems ok. df
-h shows both disks working fine and I can access the root and
all partitions. I hope this was just some stupid disk problem
that is *not* the harbinger of another disk death. Thnx.
BTW, what exactly pointed to a disk failure and why? I'm not a
programmer by profession (which is good bc I'm pretty bad at
it).

Your disk has died and the kernel has turned it off. This is
bad
because it seems to be your root disk.
