After rebooting did fsck fix it up, and if so, did you lose anything 
(look in lost+found)?  The number of DT_GETPAGE warnings indicate that 
there was quite a bit of corruption in the volume (at least in a 
directory).

I'm not sure how up to date the JFS code is in 2.4.18-26.7.xsmp.  I'll 
try to find out by tomorrow if there are any known problems that may 
have been fixed.
