Start checking your hardware. The block size can't be 1026 or else mke2fs
would have complained, and 1026 is a bit flip number anyway (it's 1024 + 2,
with 1024 being the e2fs block size on that partition and not the hard disk
block size, which isn't reported to the VFS layer). Also, the block on
freelist stuff is also indicitave of hardware problems. Start by replacing
your RAM and see if the problems go away.
