The first time it happened, I simply told the system to fix the errors, but since they kept coming up again, I decided to look more closely. I booted from a live USB drive, assembled my raid partitions, and ran fsck.ext4 manually. Without any options, fsck.ext4 simply reported that the filesystem was clean, and exited. Things got more interesting when I ran with -f. It reported several multiply-claimed blocks, and when I told fsck to go ahead and clone them, it failed with an internal error. Repeated runs of fsck revealed that the filesystem was still not fixed, and repeated attempts to fix the problem also failed, reporting that multiply- claimed blocks already reassigned or cloned. I was lucky in that the files in question were unimportant, so deleting one of them and running fsck again seems to have fixed my problem this time. However, fsck's internal error and failure to fix the problem in the first place is worrisome.
