	Well, depends on the usage of the system and the partition size,
	for instance on a news server it might not be that bad, on a mail
	server it will be worse, and on a file server, seeing fsck clear
	out thousands of inodes is not a nice feeling.

	In that case it's time to pull out tct (The Coroner's Toolkit) and
	icat for rescuing inodes.

	YMMV, but I would still suggest doing a backup of the partition BEFORE
	running fsck.
