The server has had a lot of problems lately - discussed in other threads, 
particularly on the CentOS list.  I'm of the opinion that this message came 
when the problems first started.  I'm guessing that something crashed leaving 
a lock file behind.  After a couple of days of problems the system crashed so 
badly that it could not be recovered.  To my untutored eye, the inode table 
was lost.  I had to reinstall.
