hole in ext3 filesystem - how to repair?

I'm running debian with an ext3
filesystem in a 2.4.20 kernel on x86.

A disk crash in my RAID array resulted
in some ext3 filesystem corruption which
"e2fsck -y -b 32768 /dev/sda1"
does not repair.

The filesystem mounts okay at first, but
then reverts to read-only with the
follow error in /var/log/messages:

kernel:  directory #213122574 contains a
hole at offset 3596288

Can you point me in the direction of how
to repair a hole in the directory?

Thank you!

 - Jason
