Hello all, I have a (nasty) issue with the system start-up, and probably with corrupted file-system. On start-up, I get several error messages (see below). I suspect I started having these messages after Gentoo crashed once, but I couldn't recall the actual circumstances. The problem is that, for example, MPD will not remember it's last state before shutdown, and will be unable to recover the it's last state. I have no idea where to start correcting the issue; any ideas welcome. Thanks, Liviu
