Just tested again and got *exactly* the same error message, bit
already cleared for block 194810, but this time after only 20min:

EXT3-fs error (device dm-5): ext3_free_blocks_sb: bit already cleared for block 194810

ext3_abort called.

Last echoes from the testcase above:

rm 1
rm 2
rm: cannot remove `test2': Read-only file system

...and with exactly the same position it broke again.

However, fsck looks a bit different this time:

Just to confirm: these are errors I got.
