Just had a hard crash, and pg came back looking ok. However, crash was in the driver for the (battery-backed) RAID card, and I know for a fact that one file that was written to the (journaled) file system before the crash was not there after reboot. So, what steps are recommended to make sure pg files are ok?

Yeah, battery-backed cache does no good if the driver is crap...
