filesystems linux-kernel ext4 corruption e2fsck

                          “Multiply claimed blocks” is an error reported by fsck when blocks appear to belong to more than one file. This causes data corruption since both files change when one of the files are written. 

**But what can be the original causes of multiply claimed blocks? How are they created and how can I avoid them?**
