I get the following error message when running the VERIFY DISK option in Disk Utility:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Illegal name
Illegal name

Checking multi-linked files.

Checking volume information.
The volume The volume osh HD needs to be repaired.

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit


1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair

Can anyone shed some light if this is a serious error and what I need to do? The REPAIR button stays greyed out so I can't repair the volume. Any ideas?
