Hm, congratulations on finding the first mballoc bug in fedora :)
It looks like freespace accounting got out of sync somehow... and I
assume this is right after a mount, right?
If the fs is still mounted, can you gather up the files in
/proc/fs/ext4/dm-0 and make them available somewhere?
Any idea what sort of load led to this? Does it persist across mounts?
If you like, you could bring this to the linux-ext4 list, as well.
Thanks,
