Any tips on catching it? Will there be useful info in a log somewhere? > That looks like your filesystem is damaged beyond what one could expect > from a single crash.

I did run memtest86+ a couple of weeks ago (no particular reason) and it was fine, but a hardware problem is not out of the question.
