What kernel were you using? I assume you're aware of this bug in
2.2.15/16... I dropped back to 14 to stop this from happening, but am
currently testing 2.2.17 (final) to see if that's OK.

Your superblock should /NOT/ have been corrupted. Can you post more
information about this?
IIRC all that should have happened is it should have fsck'd one of the
disks (the first, I think?), and then resync'd that to the other one.

Can you post what you're getting on startup?
