I got no syslog messages, but when I ran gfs_fsck, it complained quite a bit. I presume it destroyed my files. Sadly, I don't have too much time to reproduce the error since I need to restore 30 virtual machines from backup. Luckily, it's just our lab environment.

You don't say what kernel version you are using. I'd suspect that maybe
