Thanks for the hint - we tried that but still could not connect to the
database. In the meantime we could get access to some data with pgfsck 0.14
- great tool, great maintainer, very dedicated (Tom Lane says pgfsck does
not exist).

What I forgot to mention:
I installed lm-sensors (cvs) version and force-loaded some drivers. Then
sensors-detect gave me a segmentation fault. Do you think that could have
caused the data-corruption?

Thanks for feedback.

Zeno
