I think I found the reason why my machine crash:

It seems to be an filesystem error. When the machine crashed just now, I
had a root terminal open and the kernel displayed the following message
as it's last dying words:
journel-712 :buffer write failed

This message never gets written to any log file (the filesystem is
broken by then)

I googled, but I did not find much, except for the kernel code and some
suggestions on changes in the code.

Has anybody seen this before?

Can I fix it?

Thanks
