Re: "corrupted orphan linked list" on my home filesystem

for the second time in a few days, my /home filesystem
(/dev/fc5/home, the name being a holdover when i was running FC5 under
LVM2 on this system) magically reverted to "read-only" status, forcing
me to reboot, at which point i was told:

"Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list were
found."

requiring e2fsck to fix all sorts of apparent corruption.

once is a bit weird, twice is a definite pattern. has anyone else
seen this lately? kernel is 2.6.18-1.2868.fc6.

Yes I did. I got it two days in a row. It turns out that it was DMA disk
errors.
The kernel then remount the disk read only.

Use smartmontools to check your disk status:

sudo /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/hdx

There must be some errors logged.

The cause? Who knows ....
Power supply, old disk, bad stabilizer, bad luck, etc ....
