Sounds like a fsck of /dev/md5 may be in order (bring the machine to single user, then unmount it then run fsck as per man fsck). This may be the result of a previous bad shutdown, with fsck not set on reboot, or even a memory fault. Or a bad sector on the disk, which can be mapped out if you have to. I hope you have another tape of /opt somewhere.
