Hi Willy,

You seem to have emailed me directly as well as posting to the list.

The bad offsets are probably because you have filesystem corruption, and =
the
actual event that caused it was probably not reported (or is at least =
not
reported by these errors).

Basic question: Do you have a hardware problem?

- Do you have ECC memory? If not, have you run memtest?
- Are your disks reliable, or is one corrupting data?

Less basic questions:  What is the corruption, and what the cause?  That
might require a little more work and dropping into the debugger.

You could also try reconfiguring to use gmirror instead of ar to see if =
that
improves things (ie: it could be an ar bug).

Regards,

Jan.
