i will attempt to restart the server to check what the errors are. the var 
on the separate disk is var. we needed disk space so it was easiest, since 
it was the intial directory containing the site data, to symbolically link 
it and put it on the new drive. i did make an attempt to fsck.
if you are in carbondale and interested in seeing the server, its close to 
tres hombres.

best
eric.
