That is probably caused by an IO error. I see you are using lvm which could 
be related.
If an IO error occurs the filesystem will shutdown to prevent more damage.

This error could be on the device (bad cluster on the disk) or something in 
a software layer like md or lvm going wrong which is seen by XFS as a 
hardware error.

What is actually the lvm device. Do you use md or any other software that 
might interfere?
IDE or scsi and what controller and system. How is the lvm device constructed.

Ah, yes. You tried to actually "work" on a "workstation"? :-)
