Error 117 is telling you that the filesystem is corrupted. i.e.
attempting to make a new name for a lost inode has resulted in
detection of a new corruption or previously undetected or
uncorrected corruption in the filesystem.

Given the amount of damage your filesystem sustained, that's not
totally unexpected, especially if you are running 3.2.0-alpha.
Can you provide more details about the failure?

Cheers,

Dave.
