The premature shutdown was just the only unusual thing that happend that I know of so I mentioned it. But maybe the corruption happened earlier and went unnoticed for a while. /var is used in bursts ... sometimes days without me actively accessing it and when the loggers complain, it goes on pretty much unnoticed for a while. I hope the meta.gz is helpfull.
