Hello,

I got this in my kern.log file:

Feb 20 00:41:00 golbez kernel: ext3_free_blocks: Freeing blocks not in datazone

- block = 538082710, count = 1

What could be the cause of this?

Hello,

I got this in my kern.log file:

What could be the cause of this?

Bad things. Something somewhere has corrupted in-core or
on-disk allocation tables.

Any time anything like this comes out of a filesystem, it's time to shut everything off and run fsck.
