Hi Eric, 
and thank you for your attention and your time.

We work at a Materials science center, and there are big plants for 
simulating earthquakes or so (believe it or not).
These plants have sometimes the side effect of inducing strong 
destabilizations in the power supply. 
We suspect that such destabilization could have induced 
an effect in the system of 48 drives which constitutes our NAS server.
But of course, this is only an hypotesis.

Really.

This is a very good question. 
Indeed, the md volume (md6) close to the affected one (md4) showed loss of 2 
disks upon reboot, but a 
repair of THAT filesystem (md6) worked.
