Well, I would posit that getting corrupted indexes cannot happen unless 
you cause them.
You are running on an unsupported OS with known issues, and a version of 
filepro with known issues,
on probably horribly out of date hardware that may be suffering from 
heat or age related issues.

Who knows what you or someone else has done with disk buffers to mess 
things up in order to
work with your large installation.
