As soon as I grasped the context, similar was my kneejerk thought. I
see that inode message related to either power failure or my having to
hardcore shut the power off rather than shut down a safer, more
logical way that protects data. So my thinking is that it could be
about something [buggy] not shutting down properly or simply just in
time even if a "proper" reboot/shutdown is being performed..
For some reason, I'm tying it most often to browsers in my case, but I
can't remember why I always think that. Maybe it's most often about
browsers seeming to cause the situation or something.... ? :)
