Yeah, that's what scares me - it was the daily rsync and security cron jobs starting to generate errors that alerted me - those inodes must've been marked partially allocated only recently. Makes me wish I dumped out the contents of those two inodes before running the fsck (maybe fsdb should be able to do that?).
