These are debugfs(1.42.9) outputs. BROKEN1/BROKEN2 are two partitions
with the problem, CORRECT1 is a system without the problem made from the
same root image.

Yes it's indeed very strange.. i tend to rule out application errors
because i don't write directly to the device so i don't think i can
break a filesystem from userspace. I've checked previous and next blocks
and they seem ok, only the block 524320 is getting corrupted. Any idea
on what should i look for now?
