Hello,
memtest86+ is for testing RAM, but do you not want to test ext4 filesystem?
If so, I suggest to boot a live system like Knoppix or similar, then run your
test by using
e2fsck -y /dev/sda1
or wherever your filesystem resides.
Please pay attention: If you have encrypted filesystems, then first open the
encryption, do NOT mount the filesystem and then check it, for example:
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 data1
then enter the password and now you can run
e2fsck -y /dev/mapper/data1
Note: the word "data1" is only an example, you can name it, whatever you want
like "space", "soap", "bullet", "henry" or whatever.
Hope this helps.
Best
Hans

Unless it is simply a RAM error, then it is a bit scary...
I've now let memtest86+ run for 9 hours, during which it did 14 passes
of all its tests. It found nothing wrong.

I have seen that a couple times, unlikely but possible. Maybe review
your RAM configuration too, ensure that the sticks are on the same
supported refresh rate and distributed across the slots in an approved
way.
There is only one RAM stick (of 16 GB), so there should be no problems
of that kind.
I'm afraid I won't find an explanation of that file system corruption :-(
Thanks to Franco and Nicholas for your responses,
