That might also be a good idea.

Not sure where this one came from - I bet it's the Ethernet card, though.

That's a bad inode in the filesystem that's mounted on /dev/sdb1.  Is the
inode number always the same?  You should definitely force an fsck next time
you reboot the server - do this by adding a "-F" option to your shutdown
command, as in "shutdown -F now".

If the inode is different quite often, you've got a problem somewhere
corrupting things.
