FWIW, now with 4.7.0 and errors=remount-ro it just happened again during git update (actually "repo sync -ld" of AOSP/cm repository). Again a directory with 321 small files. ls on ro fs after the error listed the directory without problems. Fsck fixed wrong inode and wrong free block count. ls after fsck still listed the directory and "git status" reported it as clean. [72173.126740] EXT4-fs error (device dm-3): dx_probe:740: inode #12327817: comm git: Directory index failed checksum [72173.131346] Aborting journal on device dm-3-8. [72173.135884] EXT4-fs (dm-3): Remounting filesystem read-only Since I upgraded the RAM from 4G to 8G not long ago I suspect it could be the root of the issue, although this RAM was taken from another machine (which I had upgraded from 4G to 12G and now downgraded to 8G) where it worked for ~2 years, also with AOSP stuff. Sigh... Johannes
