I don't use EXTx but wonder if there was an update which has caused an
inconsistancy in your HDD.

I had this happen about a year back while under 9.3 on one of my
machines running Reiser. About every third time I'd reboot I'd get
stuck having to manually fdisk and repair my hard drive. At first I
thought it was the hard drive failing, but when I upgraded to 10.0,
the problem went away and hasn't re-appeared. I've been using the same
hard drive on that machine (now in 10.1) since I first started with
SUSE on 9.1 and only saw the issue for about a month last year.

You might check with others in the *nix world who are using EXTx and
see if they've got a similar issue.
