I hate to say this, but reboot. That looks as though it's your root
filesystem, and it needs a fsck. If that doesn't work, you may need
the rescue CD to get back into the system.

Once you get back in, if your disk supports SMART, use smartctl to
check it's not on the way out. You should probably do a memtest86 on the
memory, too.

HTH,

James.
