This is on Fedora 16, kernel 3.3.7-1.fc16.x86_64. sdb1/3 are ext3
devices on a Hitachi HDS721010KLA330.

Any idea what is going on? The device is usually fscked, then mounted
nightly, data is rsynced onto it, then unmounted. We'll probably upgrade
it to ext4 soon to see whether the problem goes away.
This has happened twice on this kernel (rebooted after it happened the
first time) and never before.
