Currently I am trying to copy the dead disk to another flesh one using dd_rescue in hope that I can run fsck on a copied partition, but after 2 weeks I am only one quarter way through (at whooping 10kb/s). I guess it will take another 6 weeks to copy over the remaining 45Gb over, and there is no guarantee that fsck can fix it.

Oh well, maybe it is time to build a mirror solution at home as well.

But then opinions are allowed to differ on this one :) Or maybe Sunday sermon recordings -- if I failed to find my backups.

it looks like the focus gallery will be the hardest hit ?
