Heh,  I really hate admitting this, but I lost an entire disk that was 
running ext3.  I'm sure it was something *I* did.  However, when every 
single directory and file ends up in /lost+found, it's hard to figure 
out what cause it.  Of course, praying to the backup gods only works if 
the person responsible for backups has given them a sacrifice.  Arrgh, 
that was a bad day.
