Well, I got it yesterday too : n22 ~ # zgrep ext4_mb_generate_buddy /var/log/messages-201210* /var/log/messages-20121021.gz:2012-10-15T19:05:39.189+02:00 n22 kernel: EXT4-fs error (device sdb3): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 774, 27157 clusters in bitmap, 27052 in gd /var/log/messages-20121021.gz:2012-10-15T19:37:58.401+02:00 n22 kernel: EXT4-fs error (device sdb3): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 436, 22902 clusters in bitmap, 22901 in gd /var/log/messages-20121021.gz:2012-10-15T19:56:05.301+02:00 n22 kernel: EXT4-fs error (device sdb3): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 1233, 11981 clusters in bitmap, 11974 in gd /var/log/messages-20121021.gz:2012-10-15T19:56:18.601+02:00 n22 kernel: EXT4-fs error (device sdb3): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 484, 28817 clusters in bitmap, 28101 in gd I rebooted the system and forced a run of fsck after these lines too.
