Ubuntu overheating…

Today my system overheated…. and died while doing some heavy compiling.  Somehow this totally managed to screw up my harddisk (reiserfs). After downloading RIP

I tried to fix the problems using the fsck reiser utilities… but it kept on complaining, and telling me to buy a new harddisk. Since I figured reinstalling ubuntu was going to be less work than trying to fix the disk… I reintallend and am up and running again… on ext3 now.

Next reboot I’ll run fsck to see if there if it still reports errors; but sofar, so good.
