There were a bunch of errors, but it did list the specific file I was
having trouble with and called it an "illegal character device".

So now I've got a ton of crap in /lost+found.  They are all html files
and some png images, they appear to be the samba documentation from the
rouge directory that had to be fixed.

I can't delete the lost+found files either even though they appear 
normal:
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        20495 Feb  6 14:33 #166696

Is my hard drive dying?  fsck didn't find any bad blocks.  I did have an
un-clean shutdown, but I thought ext3 was supposed to be better than
this.
