I had to ask them to image the disk and pay for the service. When it happened tonight again this time I unmounted the device before doing anything else. That worked and kept the machine online. There's then indeed a corrupted directory entry that e2fsck manages to repair easily. As this is always the same inode no. and always happening at the same time (I suspect the updatedb run, although this should not do any changes to that device) I rather suspect a bad block (or a bug). Once I know it's really updatedb doing this I plan on running bad blocks and see if that finds one. Thanks for your telling your experience, I'll keep that in mind.
