Yeah, I doubt very much it's a backuppc issue, sorry if I may have implied that. I'm fairly confident it's a ext3/driver issue. But as this popped up when we began using backuppc I suspect it may have to do with the massive quantities of files and had hoped another backuppc may have encountered and solved it.
controller is onboard nvidia, using the sata_nv driver drives are all Seagate ST31500341AS 1.5TB drives drives are tethered by LVM to a 4.1TB single ext3 partition Seems that centos reported bug also is using LVM, perhaps a tie, but it's ext3 that's crashing by the crash output.
