Hi Ed,

I'm amazed no one's responded yet! Since it's a ReiserFS error message, I 
think it's a safe bet you should shut down, back up everything important on 
that partition and undertake diagnostics/repairs of the filesystem on it.

The basic procedure is:

Shut down.
Boot into rescue mode using the installation DVD/CD.
Mount the partition.
Make backups, as needed.
Unmount the partition.
Run reiserfsck to diagnose/repair the problem(s).

**Must Reads** before you do this:
======================
"man reiserfsck" or
"info reiserfsck" and
"reiserfsck --help"

Good luck!
