Amen.  I'm in a bit of a sticky situation, because I see last night's  
backup is 30GB smaller than the night before, so I think I had some  
issues going on there.  Now, when I rebuild my server (which it looks  
like I will be doing, fsck will not give this file system it's  
blessing when fscking manually...) I get to decide whether to restore  
the partially corrupted, but most recent copy, or the good but old copy.

Yay.

PS: Jim -- it's an LSI raid card, which uses the megaraid kernel  
module.  It's been a faithful old server, but I may have to drop it  
from the top of a large building sometime soon...
