I have had some lossage that might be similar. But it may also be that my missing files (and wrong contents of files) are associated with crashes. Lately, I have not been experiencing corruption or crashes. This was with netbsd-5 and then netbsd-6. In my case, I suspect bad hardware; I replaced the disk which seemed to help but not fix it, and because memtest failed replaced the RAM, but the system with the new RAM also fails memtest. So I question my motherboard/cpu and power supply. I have separate partitions (being from that generation and using 7th Edition) and all but / are WAPBL.
