Such a nice proposition. Thanks a lot. The machine is somewhere in texas... 
I don't know where exactly.  Anyway, the housing company is offering KVM and 
remote console access to the box, so I won't need anyone to go ring at the 
housing company to check on a server rented by some remote swiss guy. But 
thanks anyway :-)

I couldn't see any hardware errors in the logs and had to wait until now to 
e2fsck the partition, but everything went fine, only:

18 times "Inode 4145432, i_blocks is 16, should be 8.  Fix<y>? yes"

and

Free blocks count wrong for group #438 (19246, counted=13222).
Fix<y>? yes
Free blocks count wrong (10346330, counted=10295276).
Fix<y>? yes

Nothing I should worry to much about... or should I?

And thanks to every other people helping me on this matter.
