Hi,
 
   We sure that we haven't installed the xfs kmod,and the modinfo are:

Hi Eric,

    Is this issue resolved? We have  been getting the same problem, though we had upgrated the kernel to 2.6.18-308.8.2.el5.

I do not know; if it were rhel I'd suggest logging a support ticket.  I've not seen anything similar on rhel.

Did you make sure there is no xfs kmod rpm installed?  What does modinfo xfs say?

I can't say for sure what's in that respun "extra" centos kernel,
but I can say this:  the error you hit indicates that xfs read a
buffer, and wound up with a metadata buffer which had unrecognized
magic - i.e. it did not look like metadata as expected.  Seeing what
looks like corruption, it shut down.

This reminds me a little of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512552
which I fixed for RHEL customers a while back, where cancelled
readahead in MD was resulting in xfs thinking a buffer was
uptodate, but in fact it was uninitialized, hence it found
garbage and shut down in this way.

Something similar seems to be happening in your case, if xfs_repair
comes up clean; somehow xfs is getting hold of a buffer which
apparently doesn't match what xfs_repair found to be a consistent
filesystem.

So I might suspect something in the storage stack?

Also please be sure you don't have kmod-xfs or xfs-kmod installed
on your centos box, which is a truly ancient and completely unsupported
backport of xfs from long, long ago.
