I rebooted my BackupPC server after a RAM upgrade, and warned me of
errors on my /var/lib/backuppc partition.  So I ran e2fsck -p -v on the
partition, and I get a whole lot of:

/dev/md5: Problem in HTREE directory inode 33115457: node (712) has bad
max hash
/dev/md5: Problem in HTREE directory inode 33115457: node (712) not
referenced
/dev/md5: Problem in HTREE directory inode 33115457: node (713) has
invalid depth

and it tells me to run fsck manually.  (there are hundreds of these
entries).

Running fsck manually gives me:

Invalid HTREE directory inode 33115457
(/pc/app-server/357/fBEST/fPAPERLESS HAL).  Clear HTree index<y>?

I'm not sure if I should say yes, because I don't know what kind of
repercussions this could have.  If I trash anything in my pool, will I
know it right away?  If I lose my backups, it would be bad but not the
end of the world.  However, if I think I have good backups and I really
don't, that would be worse.  I guess I'm looking for any advice you guys
might have...

Thanks
