ouch!

belle has gone down hard twice in the last three days. luckily i was able to rescitate her using the remote power control, but it appears as if she has some filesystem corruption. i’m not sure what or whom, but certain operations cause the home directory to be mounted read-only (to avoid further damage). tonight i’m going to have to attempt a repair, and if that is unsuccessful, reformat and restore from backup. i’m dissapointed in myself; she should be using a journalling filesystem and she’s not.
