Last night it failed after being up and running for several weeks. A
hard boot brought it back up for a few minutes and then it failed again.
Another hard boot and it failed during fsck.
I powered it down for several minutes and rebooted and ran fsck.ext2 on
/dev/hda2
It fixed a bunch of errors and rebooted and has been up for 10 minutes
now.

Now I get:
fatal error: locate: decode_db: 'pathlen == -11'! Corrupt Database!
whenever I try to run 'locate'

woops :-) that is a typo.
The swap partition is /dev/hda3
