What does that mean? Connect ... how?

I tried searching for that string (XFS_WANT_CORRUPTED_GOTO) in the VirtualBox source code, and I couldn't find any references. Are you sure the error is coming from VirtualBox? Can you post a screenshot of the error?
PS. For future reference you should ZIP your logs. It helps you, it helps us, it helps the server, it helps save a (virtual) tree or two...

Hi Socratis,
I meant, I have been using Oracle VirtualBox for more than 2 years with no issue. All of a sudden I am unable to start VirtualBox.
Please find the attached screenshot of the error.
Thank You!

XFS is a (somewhat obscure IMHO) guest filesystem, so that looks like guest file corruption. The error itself clearly occurs inside the guest OS, not in the VirtualBox process.

VirtualBox and the VM start just fine, that's not your problem. Just as mpack said, the problem is within your guest.
Just because an OS/program that runs in the context of VirtualBox has a problem, it doesn't make it a VirtualBox problem necessarily. You're having an issue that has nothing to do with VirtualBox, so my suggestion would be to treat it as such, as a native problem with the OS or the application of the guest.

There seems to be plenty information available online about the XFS_WANT_CORRUPTED_GOTO error. Apparantly it's relatively common and easily fixed using a tool called "xfs_repair". You may have to boot the VM from a repair CD in order to run the tool, just like you'd do in the physical world.
