It started to give me following errors:

EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,6)): ext2_add_entry: bad entry in directory
#28699: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=1024, inode=0,
rec_len=0, name_len=0

And sometimes a couple:

EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,6)): ext2_readdir: bad entry in directory
#28699: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=1024, inode=0,
rec_len=0, name_len=0

There are a lot of instances of this but the dir # is the same.
The directory in question seems to PostgreSQL data directory
/var/lib/postgresql/data and it started when I tried to create a
database into this. Otherwise the PostgreSQL works ok.

No Oops yet.

Kernel is UP 2.4.0-test9-pre7+ext2-patch-7. Nothing else.

What other info is needed? And please also directions how to get it :)

This is my workstation and although I have not made any stress-testing
here, it has survived my usual daily activity...

Hmm, I am starting to think that maybe I _should_ make backups...
