I have experienced something similar. It sometimes took me hours to
produce the corruptions, but once I got the first warnings, every minor
write operation triggered it until I rebooted (root and var filesystems
were affected, so unmounting and remapping didn't work).

Another thing I noticed:
I was using lvm ontop of dm-crypt ontop of raid5 and some filesystems
(logical volumes) would get corrupted when under heavy load, and others
got corrupted when other filesystem were under heavy load. It may be
coincidence but it was always the same combination:
Producing heavy load on the var lv corrupted it.
Producing heavy load on my data lv corrupted the root lv.

All lvs were on the same volume group.
