I did a mount -a, then a fsck -y, then manually changed the
passwords back to what they were and the machine seems ok. df
-h shows both disks working fine and I can access the root and
all partitions. I hope this was just some stupid disk problem
that is *not* the harbinger of another disk death. Thnx.
BTW, what exactly pointed to a disk failure and why? I'm not a
programmer by profession (which is good bc I'm pretty bad at
it).
