May I ask: if you had chosen to start up from your OS X CD and run Disk
Utility, would these same file system problems have been identified by
<Verify Disk>?
Also, there is contradictory information out there on the value of
running fsck. See this which I saved from a post to the List some months
ago. Would you agree or disagree with it?
