But *I* fix every day FS corruption! Every night i reboot the VMs that
have:
	fsck.mode=force

as grub boot parameters. In logs, i can se that FS get fixed.

Reading the Ubuntu, Debian and RH bugs in my initial posts, seems to me
that this is not the case.
The trouble seems exactly the same: same errors, same partial fix
incrementing the available RAM to the VM.

HS MSA 1040 SAN, exporting iSCSI volumes via LVM. The 'thin' part is on
the SAN side, eg no thin-LVM, no ZFS on top of it, ...


Another error popup now:

 Nov 15 13:44:44 vdmsv1 kernel: [136834.664486] EXT4-fs error (device sda6): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:759: group 957, block bitmap and bg descriptor inconsistent: 32747 vs 32768 free clusters

 Nov 15 13:44:44 vdmsv1 kernel: [136834.813465] JBD2: Spotted dirty metadata buffer (dev = sda6, blocknr = 0). There's a risk of filesystem corruption in case of system crash.

increasing the VM ram from 8 to 12 GB lead to a 1,5 day interval between
errors, while before errors was every 'less than a day'.


This night another 4GB of RAM, another stop and start, ...
