I also have had index corruption on two occasions. It is not a big deal for me since my data is fairly real time so the old documents aren't as important. However, I'm running this on a VPS with slicehost, so whether or not they use dodgy disks is not something I can confirm or even deal with. I do need to upgrade to 2.9 from 2.4, but I think one of the reasons for my index corruption is deleting the index.write file rather than removing the lock through the Lucene APIs. This seems like it could be a cause of corruption, correct?
