Sorry. I accidentally changed the status from Triaged, thinking I was clicking through to more details, and it won't let me change it back. Perhaps someone can revert that change.
I was intending just to add a note that this bug has been affecting several different Ubuntu systems I maintain for myself, friends and relatives, at least one is not SSD. On my own laptop the journal ends up being corrupted about once every 2 days, sometimes once a day. I switched off the "discard" mount option last week. The following is a typical diagnostic, but the details vary. 250162.298456] EXT4-fs error (device sda1): ext4_ext_remove_space:2574: inode #1077692: comm Chrome_CacheThr: bad header/extent: invalid magic - magic 87cf, entries 10138, max 3135(0), depth 51679(0) [250162.298471] Aborting journal on device sda1-8.

This trouble seemed to start on 4 October, when an Ubuntu update-manager invocation remade initrd (but the kernel didn't change from /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-32-generic).
