 It's a message from "fsck" telling you there were problems with 
the partition, and it fixed them.

It might have been caused by killing the machine without a graceful
shutdown, or you might have some ongoing filesystem corruption.

The inodes referred to could have pointed to some temp files 
that have been removed, and the fsck was simply restoring the state of the
filesystem to reflect this.

If you see the message when you next reboot, check to see if you have any
missing files, or if there is any corruption.

You *are* shutting linux down correctly aren't you?

It's not like a DOS box you can just hit the reset/power switch on.

A UNIX machine must be carefully shutdown, using the "shutdown" command.
