I hope you are not storing any valuable data on a 10 year old hdd...
Yes, of course.
I have a ddefinitive answer now. After some days of use, the disk failed
again. I changed the drive to another computer, and after compiling some
ports, some disk read failures came again, causing segfaults.
First, thank you very much for your interesting responses.
Yesterday in the evening I installed OpenBSD again on the same disk,
just to be sure if I could reproduce the errors. Yes!, I did not have to
wait for a long time. The errors appeared after some hours of use. I

And once you are done unpacking run /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb a few times :-)
This would cause the system to 'touch' every file on your drive and
you will almost surely see errors if there is a
