Ok, I now know why but I do not know what caused it and how to recover. I have software RAID1 (mirror two disks) configured and somehow it has created different contents in /home directory for a user. I confirmed this by booting with one disk at the time and sure enough, they have different contents. cat /proc/mdstat showed one disk had been removed, I don't know when that happened. Anyway, I re-added the disk and now it's synchronizing. Hope this will solve the mystery.
