I think it is not serious or I would'nt be able to mount it error
free.

Yeah, first place I looked but there has been no activity there for a
good while.  The last things I recall doing before the reboot where
this started was:

1) attempted to build amaya by hand and errored out, but not disk
  related errors.

2) Attempted to install strace (to help with amaya build) and it
  errored out... I didn't keep error.

3) ran revdep-rebuild

   It came up clear after one shotting a couple of things I think.  I
   ran it because of the error attempting to install strace.  I didn't
   keep the error but after revdep-rebuild one shotted kpdf-? and
   maybe something else, strace emerged without error.

I can't think what in that activity would cause a disk error
especially since none of the activity involved /dev/hdb6 which is not
a system directory (/dev/hdb6 = /anex2)  And is primarily a backup
disk. 

There may have been a backup run though... The last one happend at
9:30 and this boot problem showed up fairly soon after.  The backup
itserlf was error free (rsnapshot of a few directories)

Well as reported in OP it mounts without any evidence of problems.

No troubles mounting in maintenance or regular run level.
