Not a make clean but a "rm -rf *; git checkout ." after the previous corruption
in the source/linux/linux-2.6 directory.

Is it feasible to come up with a self test patch to ext4 to compare the
allocated block bitmap with the bitmap in memory?

I will do a fsck on every boot now and will setup a testsystem in the evening
to try to reproduce this (without dm/lvm inbetween).
