It's a sign of a dirty filesystem which should be fixable by running an fsck on the filesystem.

    Is this a serious issue? Just noticed it after doing a 15GB CPanel Account Restore.

    This requires the data center to unmount the drive and fsck it right? If I don't this could get worse right? Would there be risk of data loss?

    Yes, you'll need to unmount the filesystem before running fsck. You didn't specify how many inodes it was complaining about but it is advisable to run it to clean up orphaned references.
