   Can you post the output of "btrfs-debug-tree -b 35028992
/dev/sdb1", specifically the 5 or so entries around item 243. It is
quite likely that you have bad RAM, and the output will help confirm
that.

   Check and fix your hardware first. :)

   If it is bad RAM, then the error is likely to be a simple bitflip,
and there are patches for btrfs check which will fix those in most
cases.
