I take it that you are using external storage of some kind? Can you
describe it?

So XFS has asked to read 2113 sectors beyond the size of the device
that the kernel is reporting. What is the output of
/proc/partitions?

So both buffered and direct IO to the first block in the block
device are failing. I'd say your problems have nothing to do with
XFS. However, can you strace them and find out what the error that
is occuring actually is?

Cheers,

Dave.
