Well, it wants to synchronise the data in the caches to the
disk and cannot find it.. I think a panic is the best thing
to do to prevent any weird things happening. What else
should be done when the disk it once had mounted goes away?
you have different problems already when that happends..
Perhaps someone has a nice light which can be shined on this?
p.s. Do not mail as root! create a normal user id for that
with normal privileges, the super user account should only
be used for system maintenance and updates and not for
regular things like mailing etc, it posses an unnecessary
risk for you and your system(s).
