I got the same error, but on reboot, the journal was played and
then the fsck found no errors.

All I did on that filesystem was
log in
make modules_install in a kernel tree
edit a file in the kernel tree (this file had at least two links)
make modules - which discovered the files system read only.

After the reboot, the file was as I had changed it, so I lost nothing.
