Before running the one-line patch above, I resynced the MD array and ran a quick fsck (via "touch /forcefsck" & reboot). Then, $ sudo misc/tune2fs -O metadata_csum /dev/md1 [says something about running e2fsck -D] Then I got a few dmesg errors like: [128700.816091] JBD2: Spotted dirty metadata buffer (dev = md1, blocknr = 5243385). There's a risk of filesystem corruption in case of system crash. [128700.816106] JBD2: Spotted dirty metadata buffer (dev = md1, blocknr = 1057). There's a risk of filesystem corruption in case of system crash. then a lot of [128711.000677] EXT4-fs warning (device md1): dx_probe:647: dx entry: limit != root limit [128711.000679] EXT4-fs warning (device md1): dx_probe:732: Corrupt dir inode 7733251, running e2fsck is recommended. On my next command (sudo -s), I got an immediate kernel panic: [128713.776475] EXT4-fs warning (device md1): dx_probe:732: Corrupt dir inode 7733251, running e2fsck is recommended.
