For some unknown reason my machine reported numerous filesystem errors on hdb6
upon boot and it dropped me into a shell for repair.  After poking around a bit
I tried running 'e2fsck /dev/hdb6', it listed umpteen things it was correcting,
and it seemed to have all worked.  The next boot was clean.

Two questions:

1) This is the second or third time this has happened to me.  Is it common for
   gross filesystem errors to happen as a matter of course?

2) Given the number of errors it found, could it really hasve recovered?  All
   does seem well but I'm still not comfortable.
