[CentOS] EXT3-fs error (devive dm-0) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted

I was able to run this command and the output is attached.  Does  
anything there point to a disk HW failure?  I still think that I'm  
just suffering from file system corruption.

I just started this now, and it told me to wait for 70 minutes for  
the test to complete.  How do I check its results?

BTW, I was able to mount the LVM partition and copy some critical  
files (see my next email).  After I did that I first tried to run the  
long test and got a kernel panic.  But that was after getting a bunch  
of errors when accessing the drive.
