INTERESTING. I think I did temporarily NFS export the machine to another right before the damage. Sounds like a lovely bug. Oh well, the recent traffic on the kernel mailing lists about NFS has been embarassing to read anyway... with "soft" mounting generically breaking on a number of people's machines and the NFS maintainer just blowing people off and telling them to use hard mounts.
