I've forgot the syslog error entry:

Jan 24 23:00:02 ay kernel: [371845.888834] EXT4-fs error (device sda2):
ext4_iget:3888: inode #127236: comm python-d: bad extra_isize (65663 !=
256)
Jan 24 23:00:02 ay kernel: [371845.888849] Aborting journal on device
sda2-8.
Jan 24 23:00:02 ay kernel: [371845.890819] EXT4-fs (sda2): Remounting
filesystem read-only
Jan 24 23:00:02 ay kernel: [371845.902919] EXT4-fs error (device sda2):
ext4_iget:3888: inode #127236: comm python-d: bad extra_isize (65663 !=
256)

I say "same ext4 file system corruption" because e2fsck reports errors
on inodes around 127233 on all file systems. I'm not sure about the
syslog errors because i have syslog logs for only the latest faulty
partition.

ciao
Luca
