[William Roberts]

All of errors below started happening after the data disappeared.  So
nothing out of the ordinary is in the logs.

7.1.  We have created numerous volumes and mount points for these volumes.
These volumes are being used to store some application and content for our
web sites.  The problem we have been having and haven't been able to pin
point is with one of the sub-directories under a mount point.  This
sub-directory and all of it's contents have disapeared on us twice now.
Like they've been deleted or something.  The mount point is still there and
other sub-directories under that mount point are still there as well with
all of their content.  All of the volumes are in tact as well.  The only way
we have been able to get the missing information back is to run the salvage
command with the orphan attach directive.  The finds the directories and
names them in accordance with the orphan naming scheme.  Has this happened
to anyone out there before?  Does anyone have a clue as to how this could be
happening?  Let me know if !
