You saved my life!! Nothing less!
This was a great help cause i never thought that it could be a hardware
problem. I took a dump from last night and tried to recover on the original
machine. it didnt work as i wrote. but when i tried to install it on another
machine it just worked fine.
So everything is up and running.
I still have all the corrupt files in place and now i try to determine what
went wrong.
As it is obviously a hardware problem, my question is now: how can i check my
hardware (disk)?
How can i get informed next time when things are going wrong?
Ok i will come up with a lot of questions as soon as i had another coffee
because i never want to feel so helpless again.
There really should be a section in the manual like "desaster recovery" which
shows some tricks and methods.
