My guess is filesystem inconsistency, so you need to force a fsck when it's
not mounted (use alternate boot media if required); how you do that depends
on what filesystem it is. ext[23] -> e2fsck, reiserfs -> reiserfsck, etc.
fsck calls the appropriate one, but different ones have different options.
