All related to hda11 which is my /home directory.  I caught a glimpse of one of them which said something like hda11 has a faulty(?) filesystem, and at the bottom...

>Hi Harvey,
  I'm not sure about this. but I think you need to run Fsck2 -p  the p stands
for prean and the cleans up the file system. it happened to me and if I
remember right thats what I did and it did not lose any file systems.. so look
at fsck2.  I may be wrong but that's where to look.
