Hello,

I also had those "PARTIALLY ALLOCATED INODE", errors.
They only happened on one disk (SATA with PCI SATA converter), and my 
other ATA disks worked fine.
I unplugged my SATA disk, and the ATA's started giving errors.

Well, whatever, I screwed up my hardware with a really dumb mistake 
(don't even dare telling you) and that let it give some quite random errors.

So you might want to do some real good hardware checks ;)
