Well, it didnt solve it. if I power the entire cluster down and start it 
back up, I get corruption, on old files that werent being modified 
still. If I power off just a single node, it seems to handle it fine, 
just not the whole cluster.

It also seems to happen fairly frequently now. In the previous setup it 
was probably 1 in 50 failures that there was corruption. Now its pretty 
much a guarantee there will be corruption if I kill it.
On the last failure I did, when it came back up, it re-assembled the 
entire raid-5 array with all disks active and none of them needing any 
sort of re-sync. The disk controller is battery backed, so even if it 
was re-ordering the writes, the battery should ensure that it all gets 
committed.

Any other ideas?
