Wow, I've never seen that errno message before. Quickly checking glibc
it seems this is coming from EUCLEAN, but glibc's manual is of no much
help. Checking linux seems like this indicates a filesystem corruption
error, at least on MTD, Lustre, BTRFS, crypto, extN, jbd, JFFS2, NFS,
UBIFS and XFS (based) "filesystems".

So this seems like a local error. Time for backups and fsck in case
the filesystem used does have such tool. :)

Thanks,
