Subject: Filesystem corruption on Fedora 17

Hello

On two machines now I've had severe filesystem corruption.  They are
both Fedora 17 machines, and they both have, at some point, run the
kernels that have been mentioned recently as possibly suffering from
ext4 corruption problems.

In the worst case, fsck is unable to fix the problems:

fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
e2fsck 1.42.4 (12-June-2012)
ext2fs_check_desc: Corrupt group descriptor: bad block for block bitmap
fsck.ext4: Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks...
/dev/mapper/heppc128-lv_home: recovering journal
fsck.ext4: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/mapper/heppc128-lv_home


/dev/mapper/heppc128-lv_home: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****

/dev/mapper/heppc128-lv_home: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has
errors **********

Here's the output of dumpe2fs:

During various other repair attempts, I've seen this message:

Both machines are running the most recent Fedora kernel, which is 3.6.7-4.

I just tried mounting the /home LV, which seemed to succeed, but any
file accesses didn't work:

Any help greatly appreciated...
