This happens every time I reboot, same messages, if I just do a fsck (no -y)
and answer no to this Clear? question, I get a second, similar  BAD/DUP FILE
I= 3219137 ...

A yes this time results in the Segmentation fault again, a no tells me the
file system is still dirty, and to run fsck again.
I suspect that the drive itself is now damaged.

I know, but time and resources have prevented an update so far (not to
mention my even more out of date knowledge), I resisted the urge to update
until I could do things properly.

Unfortunately, I was not involved with the initial construction and
configuration of this system, it just falls to me to get it working again.
Looks like it may now be time to do that upgrade.
