[Lustre-discuss] Recovering from failed OST

I have a system with a failed OST. Resolved any hardware issues and
e2fsck the OST before mounting. e2fsck seem to have quite of bit of
repair done.
I remounted the OST and everything looked fine. I did not run lfsck yet.
Would lfsck restore any files that were in the OST's /lost&found to the
lustre's fs /lfs/lost&found?
Also after the system was restored, another OST went in to a read only
mode because the fibre connection to the disk died. Currently the disk
is down.
Users started reporting files that some of the files were 0byte size. I
checked them out and while some were the downed disk, there were files
NOT mapped to the failed OST.
Files that were 0byte size are now coming back with a "No such file or
directory".
I'm really worried now that I might be losing data or the MDS is
starting to disconnect the inodes.
Can anyone help? What can I do about this situation other then bring
back the disconnected OST...
Thanks,
-Alex
