I checked several known-corrupt files, but unfortunately, all corruption have disappeared :-( The /var/cache/fscache/ files have a time stamp half an hour ago (17:53 CET = 15:53 GMT). I don't know what happened at that time - too bad this disappeared after a week, just when we started investigating it. All those new files are all-zero. No data is stored in any of them. Note that I had to enable /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/cachefiles/enable; the trace events you named (read/write/trunc/io_error/vfs_error) do not emit anything. This is what I see: kworker/u98:11-1446185 [016] ..... 1813913.318370: cachefiles_ref: c=00014bd5 o=12080f1c u=1 NEW obj kworker/u98:11-1446185 [016] ..... 1813913.318379: cachefiles_lookup: o=12080f1c dB=3e01ee B=3e5580 e=0 kworker/u98:11-1446185 [016] ..... 1813913.318380: cachefiles_mark_active: o=12080f1c B=3e5580 kworker/u98:11-1446185 [016] ..... 1813913.318401: cachefiles_coherency: o=12080f1c OK B=3e5580 c=0 kworker/u98:11-1446185 [016] ..... 1813913.318402: cachefiles_ref: c=00014bd5 o=12080f1c u=1 SEE lookup_cookie > Also, what filesystem is backing your cachefiles cache?

I don't think any write is misaligned. This was triggered by a WordPress update, so I think the WordPress updater truncated and rewrote all files. Random guess: some pages got transferred to the NFS server, but the local copy in fscache did not get updated.
