All of a sudden when reading a certain part of the disk (not sure where, but my nightly backups trigger it) I get an infinite loop of these messages appearing in my logs: xfs_da_do_buf: bno 8388608 dir: inode 3087268096 Filesystem "md0": XFS internal error xfs_da_do_buf(1) at line 2015 of file fs/xfs/xfs_da_btree.c.

Does anyone know what this error means? Do I need to reformat the filesystem? I've restarted a few times and the error goes away until the next nightly backup triggers it again. Killing metalog does seem to stop the messages, so perhaps one of the log files is the culprit? I'm not sure how to map that inode or bno back to a filename. It's always the same bno/inode and always reports metalog as the offending program. Any suggestions how to go about diagnosing this problem?
