The metadata target (MDT) in the MDS is actually "ldiskfs" which is an enhanced version of ext4. One possibility may be to use ZFS in the future as the support in Lustre seems to be quite stable now.

It seems pretty impossible to find out the exact root cause in retrospect as the system was running for a long time without apparent issue. Any ideas are welcome though.
