Well this is a first I think. A little while back we had some pretty crazy power outage issues in the Dallas area which actually managed to get by our UPS systems and bring down our servers in Dallas for about an hour. When we came back online our primary web box barfed and we've been struggling with it for a few days and cant seem to find the answer to what's wrong exactly. We're getting pretty close to just doing a total wipe of the system since we've tried pretty much everything else but thought maybe some of you Linux experts may have seen this error.

- On boot, we get an 'unexpected consistency error' on our /var/ partition
- FSCK running in parallel mode  ( -A mode ) shows an inode12 has illegal blocks error
- That is the only way we see any errors, no other tools or modes have shown anything
- We're running Redhat Linux 7.2 with a custom kernel (Yes, the AOL of linux)

We've tried every error check out there, re-creating partitions and partition tables and re-copying data and it still keeps showing up. /var/ is spread across 4 15krpm SCSI seagate drives in RAID5 mode. We've got some pretty sharp guys on this one who have already gone through the obvious possible solutions and done a whole bunch of googling but we've come up empty. If you have any first-hand experience with this error though we'd love to hear from ya via email or in the comments here. Otherwise we'll probably be without one of our servers for a while longer. :(
