File will not be read, seekptr checksum did not match

I am getting the error below

"File will not be read, seekptr checksum did not match (file=<file name>0). Last time we saw this initcrc, filename was different. You may wish to use larger initCrcLen for this sourcetype, or a CRC salt on this source. Consult the documentation or file a support case online at http://www.splunk.com/page/submit_issue for more info."

I have crcSalt = <SOURCE> in the inputs.conf

what more can I do?
