Ok, I now know why but I do not know what caused it and how to recover.
I have software RAID1 (mirror two disks) configured and somehow it has
created different contents in /home directory for a user. I confirmed
this by booting with one disk at the time and sure enough, they have
different contents.
cat /proc/mdstat
showed one disk had been removed, I don't know when that happened.
Anyway, I re-added the disk and now it's synchronizing.
Hope this will solve the mystery.
