Power failure. The UPS power strip that the server was one, burnt out. 
And I only have one PSU on it, so the sudden loss of power corrupted the 
HDD, and the VM's partition as well.
But it's working now again. I had to update some software, and fix a few 
user's home folders, but now it's working :)
