I get these somewhat frequently on one of my systems as well. Usually,
it's bogus...i.e. umount and e2fsck, and nothing is found.
EXT2-fs warning (device 08:16): ext2_free_blocks: bit already cleared for
block 404354
kernel=2.0.30, device = IBM DORS 2gb SCSI disk on an NCR 810 using the BSD
ported ncr8xx driver. I'm considering trying to swap the NCR out for a
Buslogic to see what happens.
