Something went wrong at the RAID level (i.e. your hardware) in handling the disk failure and recovering the array. It corrupted blocks in the volume rather than recovering them cleanly without errors. The corrupted blocks happened to be in a directory block, and a frequently accessed one according to the errors in the log. What you found in lost+found was the recoverable fragments of the directory and whatever else was corrupted during the disk failure incident. > What more info can I provide to understand this issue and avoid > this to happen again? I'd be asking your hardware vendor about why it corrupted the volume on a single disk failure when it is supposed to be able to transparently handle double disk failures without losing/corrupting data.
