fsck of root partition won't work

[Louis Demers]

We are experiencing disappearing partitions. In an effort to
understand what is happening, we ran fsck on / and got
the following after the phase.

LINK COUNT TABLE OVERFLOW
CONTINUE ?

If we answer yes, the same message appears again.  If we answer
no, it quits.

	What is wrong ?

	Louis

PS: A prompt reply would be appreciated as we have contractors waiting
	for a fix before they continue their work.
