almost anything, if the system crashed, or had some bad physical sectors
on it ..or a program crashed while it was writing to disk may of curropted
some stuff..hard to tell.  you can always avoid a reboot and you can
always (i believe) unmount filesystems when at runlevel 1 (single
user) that is if you care to preserve your uptime, it also eliminates the
need for a boot disk for this kind of operation. only the BARE minimum
runs at runlevel 1 ..ive had no trouble unmounting filesystems on any of
my systems there.
