Julian> can you characterise the corruption? Sure. Typically the system will crash with an ffs panic of some random type. When it comes back, we run non-background fsck's because manual fsck is sometimes required. Corruption varies. Some stuff sometimes pops up in lost+found. Some stuff can vanish (not 100% positive on that). But most worringly, is that some files come back corrupted (ie berkley db files that db won't read).
