Thank you for a really detailed and thorough answer.

I just wasn't patient enough to wait . I ran the System rescue cd -iso from an USB stick on my Windows PC, trying to back up the contents of my home folder and config files for samba, cups and such from the Xbian SD card. It turned out that most of the files were unreadable, I'm not sure if the failed xbian-storager compress corrupted those or if there was something exotic with the way xbian handles the file system and made them unreadable for system rescue cd.

So I went my way, made backups of those files I could, wiped the SD card and started off with a fresh install. :| There seems to be some problems with the fresh install, the initial configuration wizard and the Kodi xbian config both freezing when loading the list of packages installed and to be installed. Oh well, I'll start another thread for that.

And again, a million thanks for a really good answer. Whether the filesystem already been corrupted or if it could have been saved, I guess we won't know. Soon I'll have a fully working Xbian running again
