The file in question is the temporary file created by ListViceInodes, and 
that particular message should be printed only if the file exists, has 
nonzero size, and the read() reading it fails.  So indeed, the next thing 
to do is run the salvager under strace, and look for the read() that 
happens just before it aborts with that message.
