It means something is wrong with the partition, and
fsck is trying to fix it, but can't do it properly.

You're not powering off the machine without a proper shutdown 
are you?

I got these messages shortly before my system suffered a head crash.

Backup *now* and reformat the drive, mark the blocks bad and
throw the disk away and get a new one. ;)

BTW,
it wasn't a Maxtor 1GB by any chance, was it?
