kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device

[Sam Johnston <samjie@gmail.com>]

Morning all,

I received this mail this morning from an admin regarding a xen guest
(newlists). It would seem that the filesystem is larger than its
container?

Before I spend too long looking at it, does anyone have any ideas as
to how this may have occurred and how it could be fixed?

Kind regards,

Sam

Hi Sam,

I'm getting the following errors on newlists:
