I've never been able to figure out why it occurs but I've noticed the following: If it happens, reboot the system, if you just umount, fsck, and then mount it will probably happen again within a day. If it happens twice, remake the filesystem with a different number of inodes. For some reason different number of inodes will change the frequency of the problem. No correlation has yet been found.
