Thanks for the heads up... but in my case too late :)  One of the
effects is that chunks of my / went missing, notably /etc and some
other directories that I wouldn't think could be related to this.  So
I ended up doing a reinstall.  Perhaps the corruption is more of a
result of ext4 not handling the multiple unclean shutdowns while
trying to debug.

Personally I think rawhide's reputation as eating babies is a bit
overdone, as a continuous user for 6-7 years.
