One was a hardware raid over fibre channel, which silently corrupted
itself. System checked out fine, raid array checked out fine, xfs was
replaced with ext3, and the system ran without issue.
Second was multiple hardware arrays over linux md raid0, also over fibre
channel. This was not so silent corruption, as in xfs would detect it
and lock the filesystem into read-only before it, pardon the pun, truly
fscked itself. Happened two or three times, before we gave up, split up
the raid, and went ext3, Again, no issues.
