/dev/sde and /dev/sdg are duplicates.  Access to the same filesystem
via two paths is causing your corruption.  AFAICT this is not a kernel
problem, something in your hardware configuration is making the same
disk appear at two separate locations.  Check your cabling and back end
configuration.  The boot messages will tell you which controller,
channel and LUN the devices are being found on.

You also have /dev/sda3 mounted twice.  How did you manage that?
