Today around 2:00 I tried to log in to tailgunner.  After I typed my
password and hit return, the login window disappeared, and for a minute
or two after that, there seemed to be no activity.  The console window didn't
show itself as normally happens.  The mouse cursor wasn't frozen.  I
rebooted the machine, but after some activity, it printed this:

Unrecoverable filesystem errors
Please contact Athena Operations
Halting machine...
syncing disks... done
halting.... (transfering to monitor)

After that, it yielded a command prompt.  At the suggestion of a line
previous to the above, we tried to run fsck, but this message was
returned:

no device and $path not set: fsck
fsck: Command not found
