This happens when something bad happens to the root directory.  jfs_fsck
ends up throwing it away. Does anything show up in the syslog prior to
the jfs_fsck errors? What kernel are you running?

That's pretty recent. I'd only recommend upgrading to 1.1.15 if you are
using very large file systems (several terabytes).

jfs_fsck should give you some idea of why it didn't like the directory.
If you missed it at boot time, you should be able to display it with the
command 'jfs_fscklog -d -e <block device>'

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
