Hi Helmut,

For me any command I tried to use on the corrupted files would give me 
the errors in dmesg, like in your case. And I could not get rid of the 
files in any way. So eventually I had to recreate the subvolume.
I checked my disk at that time, but it did not show any bad sector 
errors, so I concluded it is the FS problem.

In your case it may be just the errors caused by bad sectors on disk. 
But perhaps recreating subvolume would be a good step to find out what 
is wrong.
