 Is the source this recent or is this just when you built the kernel? There
 was a fix for this issue, affecting UFS2 file systems. Can you check what
 type of file system you are using? If it's not clear, post the output
 of 'dumpfs /dev/$raw_device | head'

 It's very possible that your file system was corrupted some time ago, and
 you only ran into it later - even though the bug had since been fixed.
