See the archive at:

The message is at:
http://kernelnotes.org/lnxlists/linux-kernel/lk_9907_01/msg00222.html

I'll be surprised if it helps, though. Marcus' situation was an
encrypted Ext2 mounted via loopback. Check the E2FStools and e2fsck's
command-line options.

Please tell us about your HDD, controller, RAM, CPU. Folks are tracking
