That's coming from the SCSI code (__scsi_end_request).
8:30 could be /dev/sdb14 which sounds a bit unusual, maybe it aliases
to something else too?

XFS, error message because it the error above handed to it. At this
point XFS can't really cope with things and you'll loose access to the
filesystem to prevent further problems.

Do the errors occur at the same place or different places? If the
latter and badblocks shows clean then it might be sporadic corruption
(bad cables, power supply, the 500 tons of yellow cakes stored in your
basement, etc).

Check the device files:
cw@pain:~$ ls -l /dev/sd*|grep "^b.*8, .*30"
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 30 Mar 14 2002 /dev/sdb14
Does that sound reasonable? Do you even have such a device/parition?
