Thanks for the help guys.

I thought I had tried this, but obviously, I hadn't.  What worked was

fsck -t ext /usr

That got fsck running and enabled me to fix the filesystem...however,
after it finished and I exited the bash shell, when the system rebooted,
I did get a failure error...I don't remember the exact words, but it was
something like...

mount error /usr/local /mnt /usr/local is not a directory. /usr/local is
its own partition on /dev/hdc3 and when I try to mount it as root, I get
this error....

mount: mount point /usr/local is not a directory.

So it appears something has happened to /usr/local now.  Would running
fsck on it help?

Everything else seems to be working ok now.

Thanks for the help.
