An update on this: I have now turned off the RAID on half of my
blades, leaving the other half untouched. After a few days, 3 of
those systems still using the RAID have experienced similar fs
corruption as reported before, while all the blades wo/ RAID have
been running fine. 

So, that looks like the RAID is indeed to blame and I'll turn it off
for all systems now.
