Yes, I have this, and "critical error" reading inodes.

Yes, this is a backup volume.

I would be happy to just delete them somehow. I can rsync any incomplete data easily enough.

And there in lies the problem. The forced read only mount prevents me from doing anything to fix it... :-(
I just did check the mount_hammer page to see if there were any useful options, but nothing unfortunately.
