Don't know if it relates, but I once had ext3 curdling caused by a
system firmware defect that changed how the BIOS reported disk sizes to
the kernel ... it would work fine provided I always booted cold,
inclusive-or never used a particular video mode.  Once in the state, the
reported disk size was different, partition alignment changed, and fsck
kicked the dunny down.
