Just be thankful you did recover everything (as indicated by the lack of

I have the same question... about the prior reboot condition...

Also, just a point, be sure to look in the lost+found for *each*
partition on your system... it seems like you are aware of multiple
lost+found directories... but just to be complete.
It seems unlikely that you would experience such corruption with Ext3 and
not suffer data loss. On the other hand, supposedly, Ext3 journals *both* the
meta data plus the actual data... so, maybe you're a very lucky guy. I would
be trying to figure out what caused the glitch in the first place... and not
be too trusting of that system until its found... also, this might be a good
time to backup what data you need before that HD actually goes bad for
good--- ;-)
