Thanks Ted. Just so I know what I'm doing if/when this comes up again, I
guess the process would be:

  - debugfs /dev/some-filesystem
  - debugfs:  stat "some/problem/file"
  - get the inode number from the output above (867 in this case)
  - debugfs dump 867 inode867.bin

Or perhaps running e2fsck -n first to see which inodes really look
corrupted and get the numbers that way.

Thanks, will do.

Cheers,
