This is 2.6.8.

The file system was remounted which seems to clear the error:

Aug 31 09:18:05 mail04 kernel: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered
data mode.

My question:
How do I determine what is/was contained in "directory #14058742"?

Running e2fsck is really not an option right now as this is a
production server and a very large volume (300GB with 150GB used).

TIA, Rich
