It occured on my setup as well.

I need to see more of these reports to find out whether the 30448 
number that fsck prints there is fixed. I also saw this today. While 
trying to debug it, It sometimes occurs and sometime doesn't, and only 
with that image. 

I am going to look inside the fsck source code to get more clue.
Perhaps it's a cobd bug, related to the way it answers to ioctl()s.

Until it gets fixed, you can hack your way out of it if you edit
that init script from inside coLinux.
