To the best of my knowledge, no. Unless perhaps you had corrupted
images, but then you would have see errors following the command.

Chris may be on to something... You might boot from the liveCD and check
all of your partitions. Which leaves another question that I should have
asked before: why are your / /usr /tmp and /var on separate partitions?
I know that there are reasons for doing this, just can't recall why ATM.
