Tso,

I used fsck many times but an error as identified at a certain block and
fsck was aborting with a Segment fault error. I had to fix all the
errors manually (not using -p or -y), skipping this specific problem.

After that I used reszie2fs -pM for just the first step. Mounting the
filesystem, removing many files (which triggered the BUG), I was able to
run fsck with -y many times.

Anyway, the problem seems to be under control but I'm not sure. The new
kernel (2.6.28.7) has a long list of ext4 errors corrected and I'm
compiling it right now. Let's see what happens next :)

Thanks anyway

-- Andreas

Have you tried running e2fsck?  It sounds like a filesystem corruption
is triggering a BUG() message, which is obviously a bug in and of
itself.  :-)
