Comment 14 for bug 1531404

Phillip - Thanks for this explanation. While I'm willing to look into the first two, please first note that (3) clearly does not hold. If you look in the syslog I linked (above), you will see repeatedly:

Jan 8 18:27:08 Tyan-S2927 kernel: [ 2.804642] sdc: p2 size 1157233300 extends beyond EOD, truncated
Jan 8 18:27:08 Tyan-S2927 kernel: [ 2.804747] sdc: p3 size 3023914186 extends beyond EOD, truncated
Jan 8 18:27:08 Tyan-S2927 kernel: [ 2.804814] sdc: p4 size 3400475220 extends beyond EOD, truncated

Whatever it's seeing are not within the bounds of the disk.
