Heh. My personal favourite is when all relative symbolic links got broke 
despite being correct. E.g. /usr/bin/gzip -> ../../bin/gzip was dangling 
but "ls  ../../bin/gzip" was showing gzip. Absolute links worked. Still 
no idea what had to happen to ext3 to get that. (Reboot with force-fsck 
fixed it.)

A common one is when sata disk doesn't just die, but times out answering 
commands. Occasionally that will remount ext3 read-only -- without any 
indication in proc, mtab (of course), or anywhere you can check.
