I've had this problem before with PFS2 (except it throws error
messages in German at me instead (don't ask)). PFS2 should write
protect your hard disk once such an error occurs, and diskvalid
usually fixes this temporarily, but I find the best solution is to
reformat the partition and restore from backup. Of course, this isn't
always so easy...

If I upgraded to PFS3, would I have to install it to the RDB and then
reformat each partition? Because I really don't feel up to that task
right now :)
