The file system was probably not unmounted cleanly at some point, and
jfs will not mount the file system read-write unless the journal is
replayed.  Running fsck against the file system should replay the
journal and mark the superblock clean.

Try running fsck, and fix /etc/fstab (see below).

In case there is more to this, (such as fsck failing), you may be able
to mount the file system read-only (mount -oro /var/video) to recover
the data, but I suspect fsck will fix your problem.

Change this line to:
/dev/sda5 /var/video jfs defaults 0 2

When the last field is 0, it tells the system not to run fsck against
the file system during boot.
