can't recover ext4 on lvm from ext4_mb_generate_buddy:739: group 1687, 32254 clusters in bitmap, 32258 in gd

[Sander Eikelenboom]

I'm having some troubles with a ext4 filesystem on LVM, it seems bricked and fsck doesn't seem to find and correct the problem.

Steps:
1) fsck -v -p -f the filesystem
2) mount the filesystem
3) Try to copy a file
4) filesystem will be mounted RO on error  (see below)
5) fsck again, journal will be recovered, no other errors
6) start at 1)


I think the way i bricked it is:
- make a lvm snapshot from that lvm logical disk
- mount that lvm snapshot as RO
- try to copy a file from that mounted RO snapshot to a diffrent dir on the lvm logical disk the snapshot is from.
- it fails and i can't recover (see above)


Is there a way to recover from this ?
