this is why I told you yesterday to run a fsck.

Your main problem will be now finding the cause. Power failures are the
only cause that can be accepted from my point of view. When this is a
remote machine, I expect that it is connected to some kind of UPS.

So, what was the real cause of it? Hard disk problem? If this was not
fixed, it could kill all your efforts in a fraction of a second.

Try to find out more about the history of the machine.
