Comment(by Lerc):

 I just got bitten by this. I use a 4 gig sd as VFAT with a 2 gig ext3
 driveimage on the VFAT. Here's more or less what hapened.

 I have a script to mount the ext3 and when I used the XO after auspend I
 noted the ext3 wasn't there so I ran the script again It reported that it
 could not find the ext3 Imagefile.

 Looking in /media/ I found (going from fairly recent memory but still ay
 not be exact)

 disk disk-1 disk-2 disk-3

 disk and disk-2 appeared to be simple empty directories.
 disk-3 had the drive image inside and appeare to be the real thing.
 disk-1 appeare to be a mount but ls showed a couple of gibberish files

 Things generally not looking good so I rebooted. On reboot /media was
 empty

 attmpting to manually mount the SD reported a bad superblock
 If I were to tae a stab I'd say whatever happened to make disk-1 is the
 corruption problem.
 Does the datastore try and setup as soon as it sees somethinging in
 /media? A bad mapping and a trigger happy writer would be a recipie for
 corruption
