It's possible, but I cannot be absolutely certain. The machine is
supposed to start itself up and shut itself down every day, running a
total of about 4 hours a day, during the span when all other machines
dump their backups. The only reason I noticed this failure was because
it didn't power down one day. Investigation revealed that FSCK had
failed and dropped to single user, with errors seen in the log.

This was a dry-run to get the error log. When I actually tried to repair
the filesystem, fsck aborts shortly after, complaining that it cannot
fix the filesystem, and cannot continue. Hence the current path of
removing everything and re-newfs'ing.
