Wouldn't boot: "Inconsistent file structure" error

I've had Mandriva One '08 installed since the beginning of the year, and until today, was completely stable. When I started the puter this afternoon, I got an error before boot,"Inconsistent file structure." I should have written down what else was on the screen, but I didn't. I also received the same message after trying to boot failsafe. After powering off the puter, and trying again, it booted fine, I am using it now.

 

Any idea's?.... Sould I be worried?

It sounds like you may have had a power problem when you weren't looking, or some other system malfunction. The easiest thing for you to do to correct this is to use fsck. So open a terminal and do

shutdown -F -r now

this will reboot the system and do a filesystem check for you.
