Thank you both for your replies.
The smartctl result following the short test showed no error, but it doesn't
present a log of tests either.
Following a reboot dmesg was happy too.

============================
I'm running a long test now to see if this comes up with anything, but reading
the previous error in syslog shows the SATA link failed, the kernel tried
resetting it and downgraded the speed to 3.0 Gbps, but the link kept
malfunctioning, which ultimately affected the fs.
I've reseated the cables just for good measure. I hope the PSU is still OK,
because I'd rather spend the money on a new PC.
