beer and the art of laptop-hard-disk maintenance

First of all for you people that just think what a weird title. You should read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Really read that book…
Having sad that. The weather is to damn nice! Thank god i have a laptop so I can sit outside while working on the school projects. But the nice weather also has a downside… It makes you damn thirsty! I have to work tonight but else i would now open my first cold beer.. Tomorrow i will..
If it is due to the weather or that my laptop hard disk is just failing on me i do not know. But all of a sudden i get weird errors. Files that can’t be removed. Incorrect Inodes.. Seems like it is time to run a deep fsck on my laptop again.. But i just kind of have the feeling that my harddisk is slowly dying.. Now I still have warranty (asus gives you 2 years of warranty…) So if it has to break i hope it does before september…
But aside from the warranty. Except running fsck I do not know what to do… It is also weird that it is just some invalid inodes etc. Since dma etc still works. I did a check on the temperature of the harddisk and it is about 38 degrees so I would think that is not to bad. (since the CPU is around 50 degrees).
Ah well. I’ll start backing up some stuff. Altough almost all code is in subversion repo’s, all audio is also on the server and all mail is on an other server (i love imap)… Now lets pray that the problem will solve itself…
