I suspect what you are seeing is due to running fsstress - it exercises
the bulkstat interface asking for random inode numbers - which in all
probability do not exist. It calculates a disk location based on the inode
number and reads the block into memory - it fails these checks if it is
not a real inode block and you get the error message.
Irix exhibits exactly the same behavior with fsstress, this one is not a
bug it is a feature of the test program.
