Maybe I've confused people with the bad hard drive thing. ONE fsck with errors is not necessarily the result of a bad hard drive. It could be a bad shutdown (although journalled filesystems like ext3 are less susceptible) or other things. It's if you need to REPEATEDLY manually fsck a hard drive (ie you have to do the recovery/LiveCD thing a bunch of times) within a short period of time that a bad hard drive should be suspected as a cause. *I* noticed this bug on what happened to be a bad hard drive, others of you have only so far had filesystem errors.
