This looks like your driver passed an error back up to the
filesystem while it was doing metadata IO and XFS chose to
shut it down to prevent further damage. It's unlikely to
be a preempt/xfs problem. Possibly hardware. Did you see
any of those device errors since switching to ext3?

No. That's why I am wondering. I read about such errors like I got before in lkml and usually they were not fs related but libata siimage driver related. It could be just a coincidence that it came up with xfs, but till now (I guess 5 days now, though not 24/7 running) ext3 is behaving nicely.
