My question is - should I worry (it is more a home machine > than a real server) and if yes, how can I fix the problem? . . . To do anything more than merely report problems you should drop into single-user mode, unmount everything except root (hopefully. If it gets angry, reboot into single-user mode.) and run fsck (as is or with the -y flag if you feel daring.) on the filesystems in question. As an aside, you might want to figure out why your machine fell over, so as to possibly avoid this in the future (such as it is). -- --
