The other thing I'd add is that if you tried doing an off-line resize with 1.43.x (x < 9) that could very easily explain how the file system originally got corrupted. There were quite a large number of off-line resize bugs for large file systems in older versions of e2fsprogs. So users of large file systems are strongly recommended to use e2fsprogs 1.44.2, and if you are increasing the file system, using on-line file system growth in general will be safer than off-line growth.
